Derby library to host college fair today

DERBY- The Derby Public Library, 313 Elizabeth St, in partnership with regional colleges and universities, will host the 2013 Derby Public Library College Fair today.   
 
The event will provide representatives from local colleges and universities that will speak to participants about the application process and the possibilities available to Derby area residents to be empowered to attain a bright future with a college education.  

The event will also feature an Understanding Financial Aid seminar. 
The fair will take place from 4-7 p.m. in the conference room on the third floor. The  Financial Aid Seminar will begin at 4:30 p.m.

“In addition to providing quality programing and resources that foster growth through literacy, the Derby Public Library is committed to facilitate the means for our youth and community to pursue higher education,” said Cathy Williams, Library Director. 

“We will bring under one roof local college and university representatives that will help address questions and concerns about our regional higher academic institutions and will have information about the application process.”

Participating institutions include Albertus Magnus College, Gateway Community College, Lincoln Technical Institute, University of Bridgeport and Sacred Heart University. 
Patrons will have the opportunity to talk individually with each of the college representatives. 

The event will also host a seminar intended to help dispel any myths regarding the Financial Aid application process.
