ABOUT THE Montana college fairs

Montana Fall College Fair Tour - September

Celebrating 30 Years of Montana College Fairs!

The Montana Post Secondary Educational Opportunities Council (MPSEOC) will host three weeks of college fairs throughout Montana beginning September. MPSEOC has conducted statewide college fairs since 1987. As many as 9,000 high school seniors will attend the fairs with their classmates, families and guidance counselors.

The college fairs give students an opportunity to contemplate their options after high school. Students can visit with representatives from in-state and out-of-state colleges and universities, technical and trade schools and military branches.

"The best thing a high school student can do with regard to their post-secondary plans is to check out all of their options. College fairs allow students to see what is out there and get them excited about finding the best fit for them," said Amy Leary, MPSEOC Executive Director. "Our fairs also help emphasize the quality and variety of colleges and universities available in Montana. With 25 higher education institutions in our state, students are bound to find something that works."

Another highlight of the college fairs is the College Ca$h Scholarship Program. The College Ca$h Program gives away several $1,000 scholarships (depending upon sponsor donations) to students across the state. The scholarships are awarded by a random drawing from the names of students who attend the college fairs. Each year these scholarships are made possible due our sponsor donations; therefore, the number of scholarships per year vary with sponsor funding.

Although the fairs are geared to high school students, they are open to the general public too. Anyone who is interested in pursuing post-secondary education is encouraged to attend. Attendance is completely free!

Because space is limited, table participation by colleges and similar institutions is on an invitation-only basis.  If you are interested in setting up a table at this event, email amy.leary@montanacolleges.com (406.531.3531) with your contact information. Thank you!
