The Ohio HBCU College Fair was created in 2009 to provide information and resources to help young people in their search for higher education. In less than three years, this event has grown into the largest college fair of its kind in the state. To date, we have exposed several thousand young people to the lifestyle, culture and academic options available at nearly 50 HBCUs nationwide.
The 2012 college fair is preparing to welcome nearly 2000 people. “I cannot believe how much this event has grown over the years,” said Ray Miller, III, Founder of the Ohio HBCU College Foundation and chief sponsor of the college fair. “I have people who contact me throughout the year asking when is the next one? What started out as a novel idea to help young minorities in their search for higher education has become a staple event in this city.”
This year the college fair will be held at Marion Franklin Recreation Center, 2801 Lockbourne Road, 43207 on Saturday, September 22, 2012 from 9:00AM – 2:00PM. Admission is free and door prizes are awarded every 30 minutes. The Big Man Konata from the Power Morning Crew of 107.5FM will be the host, with DJ Krate Digga playing age-appropriate music. With over 20 HBCUs in attendance, this is one event you do not want to miss. Free workshops are also available to help students learn more about scholarships, financial aide, college applications and more.
BLACK CENTRAL™ is a proud sponsor of this great event.
