2nd Bi-annual High School Conference

Welcome!

As part of its mission to foster students in pursuit of higher education, USC Troy Philippines invites all high school students to participate in our Second Annual High School Conference. Our first High School Conference in 2008 was a such a success that we want to extend this opportunity year round!

What’s Coming Your Way…

Troy Philippines will host this daylong event free of charge.

Attendees will get a taste of college life beyond any admissions tour, website, or interview, because all activities are facilitated by current undergraduate students themselves. Aside from several guest speakers, all tours, workshops, and discussions are led by students who know the ins and outs of their majors, student organizations, and various slices of campus life.

For juniors and seniors, we offer workshops on the real college application process: not only peer-proven tactics to handle the basics (when and how to submit what applications) but what to really focus on amidst all the paperwork.

For freshmen and sophomores, we start forums on the bigger picture of formal education: what kinds of habits, activities, and perspectives we cultivated throughout high school that prepared us for and helped us get in to college.

For all students, we have discussions with undergraduate students according to their major, favorite student organization, and part of campus life. This way, attendees can see how their academic and extracurricular interests translate onto the college scene.

We hope this event will enrich attendees with practical, insider knowledge to make them more competitive college applicants and
