                                                              i.      Annual Student Recruitment Event, On-Site Admissions Day on Saturday, October 18 at 10 a.m.
1.      This event is geared towards local high school seniors who are interested in attending college, specifically Hampton University.  We host this event, in partnership Ms. Angela Boyd, Director of Admissions at HU. The goal is to recruit and establish relationships with students and their families. During this event, eligible students are able to interview for admittance with Ms. Boyd and be awarded scholarship money on the spot if they qualify. There are quite a few benefits to this event, one being that eligible HS seniors are awarded the very first scholarships that Hampton gives out for the school year. As we all know, Hampton is more expensive than many local state universities, so we love being able to provide this opportunity to our area students.
