POST-HIGH SCHOOL PLANNING EVENTS
COLLEGE FAIR
District 207 hosts an annual College Fair every Fall semester. Approximately 160-200 colleges are represented at this event every year.

College Fair 2017 will take place at Maine East on September 13th from 6:30-8:30 pm.
COLLEGE PLANNING NIGHT FOR GRADES 9-11
College Planning Night is an opportunity for freshmen, sophomore, and junior students to participate in college planning and exploration.

College Planning Night 2018 will take place at Maine East on February 6th, 2018 at 6:30pm.
FINANCIAL AID NIGHT
District 207 Financial Aid Night is designed to educate students and families about college financial aid and affordability. Financial Aid Night 2018 will take place at Maine East on March 8th, 2018 at 6:30pm.
COLLEGE PANELS
District 207 hosts an annual 3-day College Panels. Groups of 3-5 college representatives travel together between each of the Maine schools and speak to students in a panel format. Students and parents are able to ask questions and gather information in a time-effective way. It is a great compromise option between the College Fair and individual college rep visits.
