PROBE is the organized college fair tour that attracts representatives from non-profit educational institutions to shopping malls, civic centers, and high schools throughout the state of Georgia. Approximately 100 colleges and technical colleges will be represented at this year’s Newton County PROBE Fair. NCSS will release the complete list of colleges attending the PROBE College Fair the week prior to the event.

During the PROBE fair, students and parents will have the opportunity to speak with college representatives on topics such as financial aid, housing, programs of study, admissions requirements, scholarships, and campus life.

“We encourage high school parents and students to attend the PROBE College Fair,” said Dee Maxwell, Alcovy High School Graduation Coach. “This is an excellent opportunity for students and parents to see the many options available to them in terms of colleges, programs of study, and financial aid.”
