Somerset, KY (September 23, 2014) - Somerset Community College is teaming up with Kentucky public colleges and universities to offer a statewide, virtual college fair for former students and other adults who are close to completing their college degrees. The Project Graduate online college fair is set for Tuesday, September` 30, 2014 from 9am-7pm/10am-8pmET. The fair will connect prospective students to college advisors who can answer questions via text and video chat, and help get the adults on a path to finish their degree.



"Project Graduate will provide KCTCS students the opportunity to re-establish their career goals and design a pathway to completing their degree," said KCTCS President Michael B. McCall. "Because having a postsecondary credential is critical in today's job market, this is the perfect time for students to re-enroll and finish their programs."

To qualify for Project Graduate, students must have earned 80 or more credit hours toward a bachelor's degree or 30 or more credit hours toward an associate degree.

The four-year institutions will waive application fees for qualifying students who both attend the fair and register for classes in the spring 2015 term. KCTCS does not charge application fees.

All public colleges and universities are participating, including: Eastern Kentucky University, Kentucky State University, Morehead State University, Murray State University, Northern Kentucky University, University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, Western Kentucky University, and the 16 colleges of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System.

Students can log in to register at Projectgraduate.org through the day of the fair.

The Council on Postsecondary Education launched the nationally recognized program in 2007, in collaboration with the state's public four-year universities. More than 1,500 students have earned their bachelor's degrees through the program, and another 1,000 were in the pipeline last fall.
