• How to choose a college
• The admissions process
• Financial aid

• Preparation for college
Lunch will be provided free of charge and sessions will be moderated by a Houston television or radio personality. The day wraps up with an opportunity for students and their parents to mingle informally with the panel participants and take part in a drawing for numerous door prizes, including two $1,000 scholarships. To be eligible for the drawing, participants must complete all four breakout sessions and they must be present to win.
Last year, the conference attracted over 2500 high school students from over 160 different Houston area high schools. All Houston universities were present along with 40 vendors giving students the opportunity to mix and mingle with local businesses and local universities.
