On September 22 from 6:00-8:00 p.m., Round Rock ISD is hosting a College Fair to expose students to the possibilities of their future education. In the 1100 Building of Round Rock High School, over 200 universities from across the nation will be present. The purpose is to encourage and inform upperclassmen about colleges they may be interested in. University of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas State, and Texas Tech universities will give individual presentations. They will also host breakout sessions for participants. These include “Scholarships for College” and “Financial Aid for College”. Round Rock ISD gives this opportunity to help guide students in the direction for a bright future, so be sure to attend.
