Glasgow, KY – The Western Kentucky University (WKU) campus in Glasgow is buzzing with excitement as they prepare to host two special open house events tailored just for Hispanic and homeschool high school students. Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 3rd, because this is an incredible opportunity for those making the leap into higher education!
Senior Regional Academic Advisor Stephanie Prichard is leading the charge in these initiatives. She explained, “There are many students, however, who may have very specific questions based on their unique high school experience.” This sentiment rings true for many students and their families, making these events not just informative, but also incredibly fulfilling.
One of the main goals is to create a space where students and their parents can feel comfortable asking questions, exploring the campus, and meeting the friendly staff who will help guide them through the college selection process. Prichard adds, “Our goal for these two events is to provide one space for each demographic in order to address their specific questions.”
So, what’s on the agenda? The homeschool open house is set to kick off at 10:30 a.m. and will run until noon. During this session, attendees will have a chance to delve into the specifics of what WKU has to offer, particularly for those students who have taken a different educational route. Following that, the Hispanic student open house will begin at 5:30 p.m., creating an evening dedicated to understanding the unique needs and opportunities for Hispanic students in higher education.
Both open houses will significantly shine a light on important topics such as the admissions process, advising, and available financial aid and scholarship opportunities. Knowing where to find this information can be incredibly empowering for students and can simplify the transition from high school to college.
As an added bonus, Prichard mentioned that attendees might also qualify for an application fee waiver, potentially saving them $50 right off the bat! This is a fantastic incentive that could ease some of the financial burdens associated with applying to college.
If you or someone you know is interested in attending, it’s highly recommended to secure a spot by registering in advance. A little planning can go a long way in ensuring you get the most out of these valuable sessions. To register, simply visit the designated WKU Glasgow website.
WKU Glasgow is easily accessible, situated at 500 Hilltopper Way. The campus is not just a place of learning; it’s a welcoming community where students can foster friendships and connections that will last a lifetime.
As the October 3rd events approach, anticipation builds for what promises to be a day filled with hope, information, and connection. Whether you’re a homeschool student looking for a different kind of college experience or a Hispanic student seeking guidance in your educational journey, WKU Glasgow is ready to open its doors and heart to you.
So, let’s get ready to explore, ask questions, and embark on the next chapter of our lives together at WKU Glasgow!
