TIFTON- The College Transfer PROBE Fair and Cash for College will make a combined stop at Abraham Baldwin College on Jan. 31.

This event will be located in the dining hall from 10 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. The PROBE Fair is for students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university after completing ABAC.

Ali Csinos, Coordinator of Student Recruitment, said, “This fair provides transferring students with the information needed to transition to another institution after graduating from ABAC.”

Participants will get to meet with representatives from surrounding colleges. Approximately 30 colleges will be in attendance for this event.

Some of the colleges participating in this year’s PROBE Fair are Albany State University, Columbus State University, DeVry University, Georgia Southern University, the Medical College of Georgia, Savannah College of Art and Design, University of South Carolina – Beaufort, and Wesleyan College.

Cash for College is in conjunction with the PROBE Fair. “The goal is to promote financial aid awareness and make sure students are ready for the 2006 fall semester,” said Jenelle Handcox, Director of Financial Aid at ABAC.

Representatives from local branches of SunTrust, Bank of America, CitiBank, Wahcovia, Nellie Mae, Sallie Mae, and the Georgia Student Finance Commission will be on hand to answer students’ questions concerning Cash for College.
