March 31, 2017- Hopewell High School College & Career Fair
We will have over 60 colleges, businesses and organizations for you to visit during this event. This will be a great opportunity for each of you to explore careers in this region and determine the best way to reach your career goals. Stay posted for more information!
The Society of Women Engineers at the University of Virginia invites high school juniors, sophomores, and seniors to apply to our High School Visitation program on Saturday, April 1st, 2017. The program gives young women a comprehensive look at engineering fields and UVA’s engineering curriculum through informative speakers and hands-on design activities. The program is designed to benefit participants with all levels of engineering experience, but we particularly target those students who are not yet familiar with the field and may be interested in applying to engineering schools or pursuing a STEM career.
To apply, students should complete the HSV Spring 2017 Application. This spring session particularly targets high school juniors, but sophomores and seniors can also apply. Students who have previously applied to HSV, are in the targeted grade level, and demonstrate a strong interest in engineering through their essay will receive priority acceptance and priority consideration for an overnight stay.
The attached flier provides more information about the event and instructions on how to apply online through our website.
The application must be completed online by 11:59 pm on Saturday, February 25th, 2017.
Last Chance for SAT/ACT Testing...
Attention students, there are only a few more testing dates for the SAT! Remember, those scholarship and college application deadlines are right around the corner. Please note that students who receive free and reduced lunch can get a voucher to cover the testing cost from their counselor!
