Co-sponsored by MCPS and the Montgomery County Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), this free event at The Universities at Shady Grove will provide students in grades 8–12 an opportunity to meet representatives from more than 50 HBCUs. Representatives will share information and answer questions from students and parents about admissions, financial aid, testing, majors and more. There will also be a college preparation workshop for middle school students and parents, a discussion on college life, FAFSA completion assistance and scholarship information.
Students and parents must register to attend. Register.
From Feb. 13–17, qualified seniors will be able to virtually interview with HBCU representatives. Students will be able to receive application fee waivers, scholarship awards and on-site admission.
