The event, scheduled from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM at the Multipurpose Sports Complex, will bring together representatives from 21 colleges and universities worldwide, offering students and community members an expansive platform to explore post-secondary education options.

Chief Education Officer in the Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs and Sports, Orlandette Crabbe, underscored the significance of the initiative, highlighting the strengthened link between secondary and tertiary education. “ESHS has consistently hosted a college fair, but by joining forces with HLSCC, we are creating a more impactful opportunity for our students. This collaboration not only broadens students’ exposure to a wider range of institutions but also strengthens the bridge between secondary education and post-secondary pathways. With HLSCC as a key partner, we are equipping students with the information, resources, and direct connections they need to make informed decisions about their futures.”

Dr. Richard Georges, President of HLSCC, echoed this sentiment, reflecting on his own academic journey. “As a proud alumnus of the then BVI High School and HLSCC, from which I transferred to complete my baccalaureate, I am gladdened to see us take this step together. I commend the CEO for her leadership and vision in this regard.”

Open to the public, the fair aims to serve not only high school students but also parents seeking guidance on college planning and former students considering returning to higher education. A major attraction will be the opportunity for students to receive on-the-spot acceptances from select institutions by providing their transcripts. Additionally, some universities will offer scholarships to eligible attendees, making the event a crucial gateway for those aspiring to further their education.

Among the participating institutions are 17 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Missouri Southern University, and St. George’s University in Grenada. Attendees will have access to a diverse selection of academic pathways spanning multiple regions and disciplines.
