SGC to Host PROBE Fair for High School Students on November 4th

Approximately 45,000 Georgia high school students and their parents will explore the options of post-secondary education this fall at one of the many PROBE College Fairs, including a fair at South Georgia College on Friday, Nov. 4, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. The fair will be held on the SGC campus in the gym.

PROBE is the organized college fair tour that attracts representatives from non-profit educational institutions to different facilities throughout Georgia. The typical PROBE Fair consists of two to three hours of browse time for students and parents. Topics such as financial aid, housing, admissions requirements, programs of study, campus life and scholarships are discussed with representatives.

This year, over 40 institutions will be at the SGC fair, including Valdosta State University, the University of Georgia, Point University, Reinhardt University, South Georgia College, Kennesaw State University and dozens of others.
