Aldine ISD College Night 2025

Aldine ISD will host its annual College Night on Monday, Sept. 29, from 6-8 p.m. at the M.O. Campbell Educational Center, 1865 Aldine Bender Rd. The event is open to all students and families across the district.

More than 100 colleges, universities, scholarship providers, technical programs, and military branches, offering a wide range of programs and opportunities, are expected to attend, giving students direct access to postsecondary options in one location.

A One-Stop Shop for Postsecondary Planning

College Night is designed in a fair-style format, making it easy for families to navigate. With booths staffed by representatives ready to share brochures, answer questions, and provide guidance, families can explore multiple opportunities — from four-year universities and two-year colleges to the military and workforce training programs.

In addition, UT-Austin, Texas A&M University, and the University of Houston will host exclusive sessions. Families can also stop by financial aid support booths presented by College Possible, where students can get help creating an FSA ID and learn about FAFSA/TASFA.

Scholarship organizations and community partners, including the Aldine Education Foundation, EMERGE, Momentum Ed, College Possible, and Gear Up, will also be on hand.

More Than Brochures and Swag

While high school students are the primary audience, the event is open to all Aldine ISD families, including middle school students, to provide early exposure to college and career options. Everyone is welcome to join us in this exciting journey towards postsecondary planning.

To ensure students get the most out of the event, Aldine ISD will provide grade-level check sheets with best practices for college readiness and recommended questions to ask representatives. Many colleges will also use a barcode scanning app that allows students to easily share their contact information, providing additional support and guidance.

Food trucks will be available in the parking lot for families to purchase snacks or meals.

Preparing Students for the Future

College Night is a cornerstone of Aldine ISD’s College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) efforts.

“College Night is more than a recruitment fair — it is an essential CCMR initiative that unites college access, workforce preparation, military pathways, and family involvement,” said Michael Minter, Aldine ISD director of college readiness. “It supports our goal that every graduate leaves with a clear and attainable postsecondary plan.”

The Class of 2025 has already earned more than $318 million in scholarships, a reflection of the district’s commitment to helping students pursue their goals after graduation.

Advice for Students as They Make Their Mark in Their #AldineStory

Minter encourages students to do a little homework before the event.

“Know which colleges, careers, or military branches you may want to visit and have a few questions in mind,” he said. “That way, you won’t just collect brochures — you’ll leave with real answers, helpful contacts, and a clearer idea of your next steps after graduation.”
