Admissions Officers from the University of Alabama, Auburn
University, Birmingham Southern, University of Alabama – Birmingham, University
of Alabama- Huntsville, Jacksonville State, University of Montevallo, Berry
College, Spring Hill College, and University of North Alabama were on hand to
inform students and parents of the academic and campus life at each school. 
Students and parents explored each school and asked many
questions pertaining to admissions, available majors, campus organizations,
campus security, scholarships, and financial aid. St. Bernard encourages parents to attend and
participate as well as the high school juniors and seniors, since oftentimes,
they think of questions that students overlook.
A few underclassmen could also be seen among the crowd Wednesday night;
as one freshman put it, “it’s never too early to make college plans.”
Guidance Counselor, Mary Mayo said the schools were well
received. “Our students and parents
found the fair very informative. They
collected a lot of good information and were able to find several differences
in each college.”
Mayo stresses to her students to make sure they inquire
about application deadlines for scholarships.
Mayo said, “Deadlines vary from school to school, and are
approaching very quickly. Make sure to
check your particular colleges for application and scholarship deadlines.”
