HOPE High School Conference
Dear Prospective Student,
High school graduation is not far off and you’ve probably started thinking about what you’re going to do after high school. Have you thought about all the possible options available to you?
Did college ever cross your mind? If so, do you want to find out if going to a University, Cal State, or Junior College is for you? Would you like help on tackling your college application,
especially your personal statement? Do you want to get an idea of what it feels like to be a college student? Do you want to learn all this without having to pay for it? If any of these apply to you, come to Vietnamese Student Union’s 25th Annual HOPE High School Conference.
Vietnamese Student Union is proud to announce the 2009 HOPE High School Conference at UCLA on Saturday, March 7, 2009 from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. This is a free event with free food and local transportation. You don’t have to be Vietnamese to apply. This year, we are gathering 200 high school students and youth like you all across California to promote the importance of higher education, learn all options and routes to achieving it, and have fun along the way.
The day will be filled with workshops that will help you prepare for college. Topics will range from how to apply for financial aid, which form of higher education is for you, what you should be doing in high school now, what major or career is for you, why education is such a powerful tool, and more. There will also be a tour of our beautiful campus so you can familiarize yourself with the environment. In addition, there will be current college students as well as alumni present so you can ask them any questions you might have about student life.
If you are interested, please fill out the application along with the permission form and liability form. Make sure to have your parent or guardian’s signature. Remember to turn in your application as soon as possible because this is a selective process based on time of submission and on who will benefit most from the event. Lastly, the due date is (as listed above) February 23,2009.
