College Fairs

Need help navigating the college process? We are here to help! On December 3, 2011 we held our 2nd Annual College Fair at Portland State University! The Black United Fund College Fair introduced middle school students, high school students, college students, non-traditional prospective students and parents to opportunities for secondary education. There were representatives from public and private institutions, as well as informative breakout sessions covering critical information about financial aid, scholarships, college life and removing the fear from PSAT, SAT and ACT exams.
