2019 National College Fair provides students, parents with numerous college choices

Once again, Miami-Dade County Public Schools hosted the ever-successful National College Fair, which was held Sunday February 24 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel.

More than 10,000 students and parents participated in the four-hour event where representatives from 200 colleges and universities provided answers to questions regarding admissions, financial aid, housing and testing requirements.

“This fair provides a great opportunity for thousands of participating students to obtain critical information about academic choices available to them, especially as decisions made today will impact their lives forever,” said School Board Chair Perla Tabares Hantman, who has co-chaired Miami-Dade’s College Fair for two decades.

As in previous years, students were able to pre-register to obtain an electronic ID permitting them to request valuable information from the multiple learning institutions.

The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) and Miami-Dade County Public Schools sponsored the free event.
