On behalf of Stone Child College and MPSEOC I would like to share this information with you in hopes that you will share this with your students who might be interested in attending our virtual college fair. The virtual fair event will replace our annual high school fall fairs. All 25 of the MT colleges across the MUS system will be presenting and available for one-on-one sessions with your students. I am excited to say that all 7 of the MT Tribal colleges will be presenting as well and can schedule one-on-one sessions should you or your students have questions. Thanks to the American Indian College Fund we will be offering a bonus incentive to all local area high school students grades 9-12 and Stone Child College Students. All students who register and participate throughout the virtual event will be entered into a special drawing for various door prizes. The drawings will be live on the Stone Child College Facebook page the week after the events are completed. Students will also be drawn at random throughout the event to win one of many available door/participation prizes. Please share this event with all students, faculty, parents, and administration as this event comes to fruition.
