Sheldon High School students attended a college fair sponsored by the STARS Network on Tuesday, September 30, in Sioux Falls.
This network specifically supports small-town and rural students on their path to college. They had a short presentation about the college admissions process, financial aid, and choosing a college with the right fit for you.
Students also had the opportunity to visit with college reps from all over the United States - from MIT to Stanford, to the University of Alabama. It was a great way to allow students to start thinking about what different colleges and universities offer and what is important to them.
