William Floyd High School Counseling Center Hosts Admissions Event

Press release from the William Floyd School District:

Dec. 15, 2022

The William Floyd High School Counseling Center recently held its first of three on-site admission events for this school year welcoming representatives from Farmingdale State College, Long Island University, St. Joseph’s University, SUNY College at Old Westbury and Suffolk County Community College. On-site admissions events, like those held multiple times each year by the William Floyd High School Counseling Center, provide students the opportunity to meet with higher-education admissions representatives locally to see what each college has to offer, discuss their goals, evaluate transcripts, discuss scholarship opportunities, and in some cases, receive on-the-spot acceptance.

For this first event of the school year, the colleges and universities met with 125 students and pledged to award considerable monetary scholarships to many of those who participated with the potential for even more after further evaluation. Over the past approximately 20 years of the William Floyd High School Counseling Center hosting this event, thousands of students have been matched with colleges and millions of dollars of scholarships have been facilitated.

The second on-site admissions event for this school year is scheduled for December 21 and will feature Suffolk County Community College only. The third and final on-site admissions event for the 2022-23 school year will be a much larger event held on February 15, 2023, in which representatives from the aforementioned schools and many other regional colleges, universities and trade schools will be on hand to meet with students.
