The Houston College Expo™ offers an ideal platform for information and connections to college and careers for high school students, adult students, and college students looking to transfer to four-year institutions. With over 50 colleges in attendance, including several Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other institutions of higher learning, attendees will be able to explore multiple pathways for their future.

The expos are a hub of energy, information and possibilities.

Seeing firsthand how students’ lives are transformed through education drives all that we do,” says NCRF Founder and CEO Dr. Theresa Price.
