The college fair planned for Thursday, Oct. 23 will fea- ture more than 500 colleges from across the U.S. Teens and their parents, regardless of geographic location, can
meet online with Grambling admissions and financial aid representatives from the con- venience of any computer.
By participating in live chats – scheduled from 4 to 9 p.m. – prospective students can ask questions about what it’s like to be a Grambling Tiger, while parents can ask about admission requirements or financial aid. The fall event will help the university con- nect with prospective students who may not normally be able
