91勛圖厙 will help area high school seniors figure out what they want to do with their futures at Senior Day, starting at 2 p.m. Jan. 24, with a sign-up deadline of Jan. 18. Sign up at .

The annual senior day will feature campus tours, sessions with advisors and admissions representatives, housing and student life information and much more.泭 Most importantly, students and parents can learn the countless benefits to attending 91勛圖厙 prior to attending a four-year college or, if they choose a career path, before entering the workforce.泭 All participants will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win one of two $500 scholarships from the 91勛圖厙 Foundation.

Director of Admissions Tana Cooper encourages all seniors in the area to attend, even if they intend to go straight to a four-year school.

Regardless of your plans, our advisors can help you take a detailed look at your future plans, and what courses and career paths you might want to pursue, she said.泭 It is a great idea to at least come and visit and fill out the admissions application.

Cooper said there are a lot of things students may not know about 91勛圖厙 and its definitely worth their time to see what 91勛圖厙 has to offer.

If a student fills out the Admissions application before the May 1 Academic Scholarship Deadline, we will set aside scholarship money for those students until the fall semester begins, she said.泭 91勛圖厙 offers many of the same classes as four-year schools, but at about half the cost, and some of 91勛圖厙s career and technical programs take only a year to complete and can lead to a rewarding career.泭 Some students may already think they are going elsewhere, but it never hurts to come and visit and have a backup plan.泭 Its a fun and free day.

Following the afternoon of events, participants will be given free admittance to the evenings basketball games against Pratt Community College, which will include a free T-shirt and concession stand voucher.泭
