HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, October 24, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- National College Resources Foundation (NCRF) is hosting the 15th Annual Houston College Expo™ on Saturday, October 26, at NRG Center, 1 NRG Park, Houston, TX 77054, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. CDT. This year’s expo is presented in partnership with Comerica Bank, which is generously covering the cost of attendance for all attendees!

The Houston College Expo™ offers an ideal platform for information and connections to college and careers for high school students, adult students, and college students looking to transfer to four-year institutions. With over 50 colleges in attendance, including several Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other institutions of higher learning, attendees will be able to explore multiple pathways for their future. Additionally, select colleges in attendance will generously waive application fees and offer scholarships, and some may even extend on-the-spot acceptances!

In support of a college-going culture in the communities they serve, NCRF warmly welcomes students, parents, guardians, educators and individuals of all ethnic backgrounds to take part in the day’s enriching activities.

The expos are a hub of energy, information and possibilities. The program also includes engaging seminars and workshops, including How to Find Money for College-Financial Aid, Scholarships, Booming Careers, 411 for the Student-Athlete, How to Start a Business, College vs High School, Why Attend an HBCU, and Hip-Hop Legend Yo-Yo teaches “How to Get A’s in English” to a standing room only crowd.

“We look forward to returning to Houston for our 15th year of expos. We could not brighten futures without the tremendous support of our cherished partners in the area. Seeing firsthand how students’ lives are transformed through education drives all that we do,” says NCRF Founder and CEO Dr. Theresa Price.
