The College Board, a leading education not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity, and CollegeWeekLive, a leading provider of virtual college admission events, invite Hispanic high school students and their families to the second in a series of five free bilingual online college guidance events called Destination: College (Destino Universidad) on Thursday, March 14, between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Eastern time.
As spring arrives, seniors will be making decisions based on college acceptance and award letters, and juniors should be practicing for college admission tests. Sessions at the event are designed to help families understand options for students who will face financial aid challenges or are considering applying to college now.
Families will also gain a better understanding of how to optimize their PSAT/NMSQT® and SAT® experience to find the right college match and win scholarships. There will also be a presentation on optimal ways to research and win scholarships.
Destination: College is a collaborative effort among universities, colleges, school districts, community-based organizations and media outlets to provide Hispanic families with college planning resources that promote a college-going culture. As a leading College Board media partner, Univision will be creating awareness of this series through various promotional channels tied to its education campaign Es el momento.
