The YMCA of South Florida, along with Infinite Scholars, will be hosting a Free Scholarship Fair at the L.A. Lee YMCA/Mizell Community Center, 1409 Sistrunk Boulevard, in Fort Lauderdale. It is open and free for all high school seniors in Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Monroe counties.
More than 40 colleges and universities will be in attendance over the course of two days, conducting interviews with students, who will have the opportunity to receive scholarships and financial aid, with some being offered on the spot. In 2023, more than 600 students attended the event and approximately $10 million in scholarships were awarded.
Students must bring multiple copies of ACT/SAT scores, unofficial transcript, two letters of recommendation, resume and personal statement of “Why I want to attend college.” Students can register at www.infinitescholar.org/register.
For more information on the Scholarship Fair and College Prep program, including registration, please contact Ms. Sharon Hughes at shughes@ymcasouthflorida.org or visit YMCASouthflorida.org/college-prep-program.
