Attend a fair in your area for college, career options and chance to win money

Tribal College Fairs throughout the state will feature colleges, universities, military branches, agencies, and many career options and a chance to win scholarships and prizes!

The Montana Post Secondary Educational Opportunities Council (MPSEOC) and the Montana Tribal Colleges will host College/Career Fairs in Montana starting February 6.

“We are very excited to offer this Tribal College/Career Fair Circuit for the first time in Montana,” says MPSEOC’s executive director Amy Leary. It is their goal to serve hundreds of college students, high school students, nontraditional students, families, guidance counselors, and community members with these free events.

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

Although the fairs are geared to college students and high school students, they are open to everyone in the general public and parents are encouraged to attend as well. Anyone who is interested in pursuing post-secondary education and career research is encouraged to attend.

A highlight of the college fairs is the scholarship program and door prizes. Each fair will have scholarship and door prizes given away to attendees of each fair through a random drawing from those who attend.
