WARWICK, RI – Bishop Hendricken High School will host 126 colleges and universities from across the United States this Friday, September 13, 2024 from 8:30am-10:15am at the largest private college fair in Rhode Island. A full list of attending schools can be found below.
Organized annually through the School Counseling Office exclusively for Hendricken students, the College Fair is in its 58th year. Visiting schools range in size from fewer than 2,000 students to more than 15,000 and represent private, public, and Catholic colleges and universities located in the Midwest, mid-Atlantic, South, and New England. The College of Charleston’s CharlestonLIFE™ will also be in attendance to meet with students in the Options Program.
“Each and every college recruitment season begins right here at Bishop Hendricken High School,” said Nicole Poloski, Director of School Counseling. “Year after year, admissions counselors from across the nation return to Hendricken because they love interacting with and meeting our students. The Hendricken profile is what they’re looking for.”
The Class of 2025 will also attend a presentation by Pam Heroux, Associate Dean of Admissions at Salve Regina University, on the college application process and essay-writing tips.
This fall, more than 30 college representatives will begin meeting exclusively with Hendricken seniors in small groups — both virtually and on campus. Some of these schools include Boston College, Brown University, Dartmouth College, the University of Notre Dame, and Wake Forest University.
Also attending will be College Planning of Rhode Island, a free resource offered by the Rhode Island Student Loan Authority (RISLA).
“Our college fair is annual proof that the Hendricken investment is worth it,” said Mark DeCiccio ’03, Principal. “Hendricken men are a different caliber of student to colleges, and that’s why they want to be here — on our campus — each and every fall to meet them.”
