UNC Asheville will host a Latino Open House on September 12th to give students and families from the Latino community an opportunity to learn about all UNC Asheville has to offer!
We will have AB Tech in attendance to discuss transfer options, a Financial Aid Counselor there to discuss financial assistance through scholarships and the FAFSA, along with local businesses to discuss opportunities for employment in Asheville post graduation.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns about the event. If you would like to bring a group of students please contact me so that I can ensure that your visit runs as smoothly as possible!
Thank you for your time and we look forward to working with your students this year.
