On Tuesday, October 9  Allegany College of Maryland will host the 51^st Annual Tri-State College Night in the gymnasium from 6:30-8:00 p.m.  The event is sponsored by the Allegany County School Counselors’ Association and strives to help high school students make educated decisions about post-secondary plans.

            Once again this year there will be a financial aid presentation just prior to the event at 6 p.m. in ACM’s theatre. Financial aid staff from both Allegany College of Maryland and Frostburg State University will present information.

            The Tri-State College Night provides students and parents with an opportunity to explore various colleges, universities, and career and technical schools as well as branches of the military and their service academies.  More than 70 of these schools and military organizations will be represented at this year’s event.  Over the years, this annual event has attracted students and parents from Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania in search of information that will help them make solid education and career plans after graduation.

            Four high school students attending the event will be awarded, by random drawing, scholarships ranging from $350 to $750 for a total of $2,200 to help them further their education.  Two $350 scholarships will be awarded to high school juniors and two $750 scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors.
