Representatives from more than 70 colleges, universities, technical schools and the Armed Forces have been invited to the annual Blount County College Fair, which is scheduled for Sept. 29 in the Alumni Gym on the Maryville College campus.

Area high school students, their parents and other persons involved in a college search are invited to attend the fair, which begins at 6:30 p.m. and concludes at 8 p.m.

Reservations are not required for attendees, and there is no cost to attend the fair.

The Alumni Gym is located adjacent to Bartlett Hall, just inside the Court Street entrance to campus.

As a service to area students and their families, administrators at Maryville College coordinate and sponsor the annual event.

"The Blount County College Fair is a great opportunity for students and their families to meet representatives from all over the country. The diversity in the kinds of educational opportunities that exist beyond high school requires students to be very well informed about their college decision," said Wendy Wheeler, director of admissions.

While the majority of the schools represented are located in the Southeast, the MC fair has typically drawn college and university representatives from across the nation. With registration still occurring, this year's list includes, so far, schools from 11 different states from as far away as California's University of Redlands.

Representatives from the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation also are expected to attend and discuss with students and families financial assistance for higher education available to Tennessee residents and other eligible students.

Space at the fair is still being reserved.
