The NorTex College Fair returns to Texas Woman’s University (TWU) on Tuesday, Sept. 8, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on the university’s Denton campus. Hosted in the Student Union at Hubbard Hall, the free event brings together representatives from over 90 colleges, universities and trade schools in one convenient location.
Why the fair matters for families
“Choosing what comes after high school is a big decision, and not every student or family has the time or resources to visit multiple campuses,” said Brittnee Hernandez, manager of strategic initiatives and operations at TWU. “This college fair brings those opportunities together in one place, giving students the chance to explore colleges, universities and trade schools, ask meaningful questions, and connect with people who can help guide their next steps.”
What attendees can expect
Beyond meeting admissions officers, the fair offers several focused sessions:
- Financial Aid Breakout Session – Held in Bridges Auditorium, this session explains federal applications and scholarship opportunities.
- Distinguished Scholar Programs – In the SGA Chambers (Room 1510), prospective students and parents can learn about TWU’s unique scholarship program, which awards between $6,000 and full‑cost‑of‑attendance awards.
- Hands‑on Admissions Help – In SUHH Room 223, attendees can receive direct assistance from admissions officers and get answers to specific application questions.
Free, permit‑less parking will be available for students and supporting adults, making the event accessible for families coming from across the Denton area.
