Headed to college and need scholarship help?

Good news. Two sororities are offering college fairs on back-to-back weekends to help high school students secure scholarships and provide them and their parents with information and access to other assistance.

First up: Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority’s 3rd Annual HBCU College Fair. The fair is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30, at Second Baptist Church of South Richmond, 3300 Broad Rock Blvd.

Representatives from more than a dozen historically black colleges and universities from Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina are scheduled to attend, with some offering admission and scholarships to attendees.

Students should bring a copy of their high school transcript and results from SAT and/or ACT tests for consideration.

The event is part of the sorority’s national ThinkHBCU initiative to raise awareness, consideration of and support for HBCUs.

Six Richmond area AKA graduate chapters are collaborating to stage the event: Delta Omega, Upsilon Omega, Pi Rho Omega, Rho Eta Omega, Tau Phi Omega and Omega Rho Omega.

An estimated $7 million in scholarships are expected to be awarded to participants, according to organizers.
