Representatives from nearly 200 colleges and universities will be at the 2016 National College Fair in Miami, noon to 4 p.m., Sunday, February 21, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Miami Airport and Convention Center, 777 N.W. 72 Ave.
The free fair allows students, parents and other members of the public to meet with college representatives and get their questions answered. Free information sessions on financial aid, college planning, admission, and testing requirements will also be offered.
Select sessions will be presented in Spanish and Haitian-Creole. Counseling and computer centers will allow students to access career interest surveys and information about college preparation, admissions and scholarships.
Requesting information from multiple colleges or universities at the College Fair is easier for students again this year. By pre-registering now, students can print a bar-coded confirmation as an electronic ID and will not have to fill out information cards. Students and their families may pre-register at www.gotomyncf.com.
School Board Chair Perla Tabares Hantman is co-chair of the local committee of the National College Fair. For more information, contact the College Fair hotline at 305-995-1739 or visit www.nacacnet.org.
