UCan College Fair

Event

‘It’s important for us all to think of ways we can serve our shared communities now.  This is a great way for us to provide a 2nd opportunity during this school year for students and families to access college prep and admissions information we would normally offer at our annual in-person events,’ said Alan Rowe, U-CAN Founder/ CEO.

With so many high school students and families facing uncertainty this year, UCAN is putting their efforts behind a virtual platform to educate and inform students about the college search and admissions process.  They will have an opportunity to view on-demand expert presentations on topics like:  College Success During the COVID Crisis, 1st Gen Students-Resources for Success, Success Student Athletes, Financial Aid 101, California Community College HBCU Guarantee Transfer Program, and ROTC opportunities offered at HBCUs during the fair.

The program also includes excellent online school counselor resources to assist students during their college selection process.  Click on our newly expanded College Planning Resources that provide families a Toolkit to assist them as they navigate through the college planning process.

Exploring college options is an important function of a college fair.  The HBCU virtual college fair provides search filters like geographic region, campus size, campus setting, and even majors offered to allow students and families to find a good fit, all from the comfort and convenience of home.
