Fort Worth ISD Schools

ANNUAL FORT WORTH “COLLEGE NIGHT” IS ALL ABOUT THE FUTURE

Fort Worth, Texas - More than 5,000 high school students, along with their parents, are expected to attend Fort Worth ISD’s 2009 annual “College Night” on Monday, September 21, 2009 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. College Night will be held in the Texas Room at Amon Carter, Jr. Exhibit Hall, 3400 Burnett-Tandy Drive, Mapsco 76A.

The Fort Worth ISD “College Night” is a veritable mall of educational opportunities, with over 200 colleges, universities and institutions from around Texas and across the nation ready to recruit new students.

College Night will offer “one-stop shopping” for higher education by also providing financial aid workshops along with scholarship and college applications.

“Over the past 20 years, tens of thousands of students have been able to talk with school representatives and other experts to help make informed choices about their education,” said Dr. Anita Perry, Academic Advisement Coordinator for the Fort Worth ISD. “They literally set their college experience in motion at this event. Whatever our students aspire to, the possibilities for their future are as varied as the many participating schools.”

Although an estimated 5,000 students and parents are expected to attend, that number could go higher. Invitations go to all FWISD high school students, as well as those attending parochial schools and surrounding districts.

In addition to meeting with school representatives, students and parents can participate in an informative “Financing a College Education” workshop. The programs will begin at 5:45 p.m. and again at 6:45 p.m. in the East Texas Room. Seating is limited and will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The programs are free and will be available in English and Spanish.

Students should plan to dress appropriately, using the District school dress code as a guide. For more information, contact the FWISD Student and Social Services Guidance and Counseling Department at (817) 871-2800.
