Get your college questions answered: Fair at PA July 12

Andover high school students and their families have a chance to learn about more than 100 colleges without having to travel all over the country.

Phillips Academy Summer Session will host a college fair on Thursday, July 12, in the Case Memorial Cage located near the Borden Gym on the Phillips Academy campus, off South Main Street. This event is free and will be open to the public from 6 to 8 p.m.

Sponsored by the Phillips Academy Summer Session and the Math and Science for Minority Students Program the fair will bring together representatives from more than 100 schools from across the country to meet with students and parents as they begin the college search process.

The fair provides an opportunity for local students and their families to familiarize themselves with a wide range of colleges and universities of various sizes, geographic locations and programmatic emphases. Representatives will have literature to hand out and be available to answer questions.

For more information about the fair, contact the Phillips Academy Summer Session at 978-749-4400.
