“College Night is a fantastic opportunity! It gives high school students the chance to meet with higher education institutions,” said Dr. Autumn Boyd, executive director of postsecondary outcomes. “They will get to explore a wide range of possibilities. These face-to-face events are an invaluable experience for our students. Now is when they start to make important decisions about their future. College Night is another way Aldine ISD ensures students explore their options for higher education and pathways leading to great careers.”

How do Students and Their Families Benefit?

The event targets AISD high school juniors, seniors, and their parents/legal guardians, but Grades 9-10 students can also attend. Students can learn about the admissions process, academics, financial aid, and activities. Students are advised to come prepared with questions to facilitate their decision-making process.

Boyd added that rooms will be set up to support families completing college applications and financial aid. Families can also attend a presentation in English and Spanish that will cover how to help their students in the college process.

Families and students can move from table to table, collecting brochures, college swag, and advice on application procedures and what post-high school could look like for them. In addition to the colleges and universities, there will be several scholarship organizations and business booths.

“The event’s atmosphere will be exciting,” said Boyd. “There are important decisions to be made.”

The district’s Postsecondary Outcomes Department is organizing the event.
