east bay college connection fair
Saturday, April 26 2008, 1:00 - 4:30 p.m.
The East Bay College Connection is a regional college fair for high school students and their parents, teachers, and counselors. The fair is held at the Saint Mary’s College of CA campus in Moraga (directions).
It is a great chance to connect with institutions from all across the country. Come to this free event, learn more about your college options, and pick up the free, informative College Planning Guide! The Guide contains valuable information about the college application and financial aid process.
In addition to visiting with college representatives, numerous informational sessions will be available throughout the afternoon, including financial aid, historically black colleges, the student athlete, and students with learning disabilities. Several workshops will also be available in Spanish, and counselors will be on hand to answer any of your college-related questions.
Parking is limited: please use the free shuttle provided for you at the Orinda BART Station. The BART Shuttle will depart from the Orinda station for Saint Mary's every 20 minutes between 12:30 and 4:30 p.m. Visit the BART website for schedules.
Finally, a Bus Scholarship Request Form is available for school groups with a large number of students planning to attend and no alternate means of transportation.
The Workshop Schedule for Saturday is available here.
