Dallas ISD will host its annual college fair for high school juniors and seniors on Wednesday, September 17, at Ellis Davis Field House.
The free event begins at 5:30 p.m. and includes representatives from over 170 colleges and universities. The districtwide gathering offers crucial resources as students navigate the complex college application process. With college costs soaring and admissions becoming increasingly competitive, access to multiple institutions in one location provides valuable opportunities for comparison shopping.
Attendees can gather admission requirements and financial aid information directly from university representatives. The fair also features organizations offering details about various postsecondary opportunities beyond traditional four-year institutions.
Students can receive free immunizations required for college enrollment, though parental permission is required. This service addresses a common last-minute hurdle that often delays the start of many students’ college careers.
The district will provide bus transportation from most high schools to Ellis Davis Field House. Students must pre-register through their school counselor to secure a spot.
Parents are encouraged to attend alongside their students to help navigate financial aid options. The event targets juniors and seniors specifically as they approach critical application deadlines.
School counselors serve as the primary contact points for registration and logistical details. The district hasn’t specified registration deadlines for the September event.
