Got Plans? is TOMORROW!
The East County Education Alliance is hosting our twelfth annual Got Plans? Career & College Fair for high school students and parents tomorrow, Saturday, October 10, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Grossmont College in El Cajon.
The annual event awakens students to the many opportunities available to them after high school, both locally and across the country. Once they make contact with college and career representatives at Got Plans?, students begin to think more seriously about their options after high school.
At the event, students and parents will be able to interact with admissions representatives from public and private universities, community colleges, vocational schools, and the military.
Free workshops will be presented on topics including financial aid and career opportunities. Additional information will be available regarding NCAA eligibility for student-athletes, updates and changes to the SAT and ACT tests, transfer options and more. Workshop information is available here.
Grossmont College is located at 8800 Grossmont College Drive in El Cajon. Admission to the fair is free and open to the public.
We hope to see you there!
