(Evansville, IN) High school students and their families are invited to the 9th Annual Evansville Infinite Scholars College and Scholarship Fair presented by the Zeta Zeta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. on September 27, 2015 from 3:30-5:30 p.m. at the Old National Evens Plaza. “This is a great opportunity for college-bound high school students and their parents to meet with college representatives about scholarship opportunities,” said Denise Johnson-Kincaid, event chairperson.

This free event hosts representatives from colleges and universities who are prepared to talk with students about scholarship opportunities at their schools. Many students receive scholarship offers on the spot. A wide variety of schools participate, from large private and public universities to small, liberal-arts colleges.

The mission of the Infinite Scholars program is to provide financially-disadvantaged students with the financial means and guidance to further their education and pursue degrees at institutions of higher education. Over the past decade, the program has helped more than 100,000 students receive more than $1 Billion dollars in scholarships offers from participating colleges and universities.

Students are asked to come prepared to talk about scholarship opportunities with the college representatives. Students are asked to bring multiple copies of their unofficial high school transcript, test scores (ACT/SAT), letters of recommendation, student resume, and an essay about why they want to attend college.

Current juniors and senior should register beforehand at www.infinitescholar.org.

This event is sponsored by Carver Community Organization, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Marcus Hester, and United Way of Southwestern Indiana.
