HBCU Recruitment Fair is Back September 17th

The HBCU Recruitment Fair is coming September 17. 

What is The HBCU Recruitment Fair?:  The Historically Black Colleges & University Recruitment Fair is an exciting event for our students. A cohort of 35+ HBCU representatives attend the College Recruitment Fair. The fair is a College Fair environment where students visit each university representative. Seniors can be offered “on the spot” acceptance to university/ies, waived application fees (Apply for FREE) & on the spot Scholarships. Students are celebrated! 

Who Attends: 11th & 12th graders from SJUSD High Schools

Date: Thursday, September 17, 2026

Time: 1:30-3:30

Where: El Camino High School Gym

Food: Pizza will be served to students upon arrival to El Camino

What to bring: 10 unofficial transcripts & questions (sites decide how to manage this/Jeannine & Tracie will print transcripts at the fair as well for last minute student sign-ups & if students need more transcripts)

Transportation: Buses are provided by the Equity Office for students to ride to the fair if they fill out a permission slip. OR students can attend the HBCU Recruitment Fair separately from the school if the parent/guardian checks the student out of school and the student has their own transportation to the site. The students do not fill out a permission slip if they are attending on their own.
