MADISON – The College Fair at James Clemens High School on Aug. 27 will assist college-bound students, along with teenagers pursuing a technical skill.

Families can double-check the required steps for entering a four-year campus. Seniors, and even juniors, start in fall to apply for college admission.

“All students are invited,” college and career counselor Lana Meskunas said. The fair will be held in the cafeteria from 5 to 7 p.m.

“This will be a great time for students to ask questions as they go through the application process” for college, Meskunas said.

State colleges with representatives will be Athens State, Alabama A & M and Auburn universities; Birmingham Southern College; Jacksonville State, Montevallo, Samford and Troy universities; University of Alabama campuses at Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and Huntsville; University of North Alabama, including ROTC; and University of South Alabama.

Students can learn about out-of-state campuses, like Berry and Cottey colleges; Clemson, Duke and Lipscomb universities; Mississippi State University; Nossi College of Art; Sewanee The University of the South; Spelman College; Vanderbilt University; and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

The armed forces will be represented by the United States Military Academy at West Point; United States Naval Academy; The Citadel; and schools with affiliation to the Army National Guard and U.S. Marines.

Two-year institutions, tutoring services and trade schools include Calhoun Community College, J.F. Drake State Technical College, Paul Mitchell The School, Snead State Community College, Appleton and Madison Aloha.

Students can ask specific questions about deadlines for entrance applications and types of scholarships that the institutions offer. In addition, they can research any specialized major that the college or university may offer.

Teenagers can find out about study-abroad programs, dorm life and options for extracurricular activities on campus, Meskunas said.
