Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD) will host a College Night Fair, featuring some 80 schools, 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2 at Dos Pueblos High School.

Offering Santa Barbara area students a chance to learn about opportunities available after graduation, the event includes a presentation on college applications, and a financial aid workshop.

“Preparing our students for college is essential to what we do at Santa Barbara Unified,” said Hilda Maldonado, district superintendent. “We hope the College Night Fair inspires students to explore all options available after graduation.”

SBUSD also has several partnerships with neighboring schools such as UC Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara City College available for students.
