Montgomery County Regional College Fair 

Montgomery County Community College will host the annual Montgomery County Regional College Fair at the Central Campus, 340 DeKalb Pike, Blue Bell. Free parking is available in the lots off of Morris and Cathcart roads. For additional information email admissions@mc3.edu. 

Representatives from more than 150 accredited colleges and universities (see attached list) will be on hand to speak with students and their parents about admissions criteria and procedures. High school students in grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 are encouraged to attend along with their parents and friends. The fair will also be beneficial for transfer and adult students, as well as for college students seeking a place to take courses while home for the summer.

Financial aid officers from local colleges and guidance counselors from Montgomery County high schools will be prepared to answer questions regarding paying for college and the college search process. In addition, representatives from lending institutions and financial advisors will offer information about their services.

Two special workshops will highlight the evening and will provide students with an in-depth look into the admissions process. At 7 p.m., Pat Tamborello, director of guidance at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, will present “Introduction to Admissions.” Participants will learn about application procedures, writing an entrance essay, early action and early decision options, scheduling a campus visit and other relevant topics. At 7:30 p.m., Doug Vore, associate director of financial aid at Montgomery County Community College, will present an overview of the financial aid process.
