How can high school students and their parents learn about more than 150 colleges (click to see the list!) and universities in just one location? This year’s Regional College Fair is happening Thursday, October 16th from 6-8 pm. This is a great opportunity for families to begin or continue the college search process by meeting with college representatives, receiving information, and asking questions in person. Don’t be nervous about talking to the reps, this isn’t an interview for admission, but be polite as these wonderful people can be great allies to you during your application process! We also recommend wearing something that represents your school involvement if you have it as it can make you a bit more memorable and it shows that you are involved, a definite positive!

The fair will take place in the Physical Education Center, Building 7, on the CLC Grayslake Campus. In past years, this fair happened in the fall and the spring. This fair is open to all grade levels.

In addition, college financial aid information sessions, presented by staff from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), will take place in Room 706 of the Physical Education Center from 6:30-7 p.m. and 7:15-7:45 p.m.

Students of all grade levels are invited to attend these fairs. We strongly encourage you to register at www.strivefair.com now!

We are excited to announce Global Navigator Scholarships for Mundelein HS students to study abroad this summer! This is a rare opportunity for your teen to grow and gain experience for college and beyond. A high school study abroad experience can also be a great topic for their college application essays.
