For those students
who missed a college scholarship the first time a second chance
is just around the corner.
Cal State Long
Beach's Education Equity Program is hosting a Graduate and
Professional School Day at the Speaker's Platform in front
of the University Bookstore Oct. 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Students can find
out ways to earn post-graduate scholarships at the fair, said
Bobbie Rodgers, counselor for the Equal Opportunity Program.
Representatives
from over 100 universities across the country will be on hand
to answer any questions students might have.
Schools of medicine,
dentistry, pharmacy, social work, education and optometry
from major universities will be present.
"Fourteen
law schools, including Pepperdine and Berkeley, will also
be on campus," Rodgers said.
College representatives
will be able to give students the opportunity to find out
what type of grade point averages, and requirements are needed
for admissions and scholarships.
"The fair
gives students an opportunity to connect with faculty from
the universities to find out what kind of grades are required,"
said Ruby Leavell-Hartley, the academic and career counselor
coordinator of the Career Development Center.
Students who are
not sure if they have the money to pursue a post graduate
education, will be able to discuss financial aid and housing
questions with representatives Leavell-Hartley said.
The CSULB graduate
school of social work and school of gerontology will be on
hand to compliment the other universities, according to Rodgers.
The graduation
fair is open to all students. Freshmen and sophomores are
strongly encouraged to attend the fair to get the upper hand
on admission requirements while they still have a chance.
