The Linda Lorelle Scholarship Fund is proud to announce Houston’s Sixth Annual “College Preparatory Conference” scheduled for Saturday, January 30, 2010.
This education conference is a FREE, city-wide symposium created to educate students and parents about the college process. The LLSF would like to share all the important information, tips and strategies we gather each year in support of our scholarship recipients with the Greater Houston Area. Our objective is to target high school students, but we encourage all Houstonians to attend. You must register online to attend the conference. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., a brief General Session takes place at 9:00 a.m., followed by breakout sessions before and after lunch that will address the following topics:
• How to choose a college
• The Admission Process
• Financial Aid
• Campus Life & Housing
• Preparation for College
In light of these economic times, we have incorporated the following topics into our sessions.
• Wellness
• Digital Parenting
• Technology
• Employment
Food will be provided free of charge. The sessions will be moderated by a Houston television or radio personality. The day wraps up with an opportunity for students and their parents to mingle informally with the panel participants and take part in a drawing for numerous door prizes, including two $1,000 scholarships to high school seniors only. To be eligible for the drawing, participants must complete all four breakout sessions and they must be present to win.
Remember, all Houstonians are welcome to attend this conference, which will take place at the George R. Brown Convention Center (1001 Avenida De Las Americas, Houston, TX 77001) on Saturday, January 30th, from 8:30AM-3PM.
It's never too early to think about your college education!
