(FLINT, Mich, Sept. 26, 2023) — College shopping is made easy at the Mott Community College (MCC) 39th Annual Regional College Fair Thursday, Oct. 12, from 6-7:30 p.m. in the Ballenger Field House on the main campus in Flint.
Representatives from more than 50 colleges and universities from Michigan, as well as out-of-state, will be on hand to discuss admission requirements, programs of study, financial options and student life on their campuses. MCC divisions will showcase their programs, including the Regional Technology Center, Culinary Arts, Criminal Justice, Fine Arts, and Cosmetology.
“We are excited about the colleges and universities participating this year,” said Regina Broomfield, Director of Admissions.
Broomfield added: “The College Fair is a great opportunity for area high school students and their families to explore college options, as well as adults interested in earning a college credential.”
To streamline the evening and give participants more time to talk with college and university representatives, prospective students are encouraged to visit the online registration form or scan the QR code to pre-register. This will save time filling out interest cards, enabling participants to input their information only one time to have every college they select receive their contact information, according to Broomfield.
Students will be able to find the right college for their career goals, learn more about available academic programs, get information on how to finance a college education, and learn about transferring credits from MCC to other colleges and universities.
Special offerings from MCC include:
• A FREE Financial Aid Workshop at 7 p.m. in the Blamer Room in the Ballenger Field House, presented by the MCC Financial Aid Office
• Information about dual enrollment at MCC for high school students interested in getting a jump-start on their college career
• Representatives from the Michigan Department of Education
Participating colleges and universities in the Regional College Fair include both public and private schools.
