SBISD College Night and Parent U: Planning for the Future


Students and families interested in learning more about post-secondary options for their future need to Save the Date for two timely learning events in October.


SBISD College Night

Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2017
6-8 p.m.
Spring Woods High School
2045 Gessner Road, Houston TX 77080

Attending institutions >>


College Night is an evening designed especially for students and their families to learn more about the many post-secondary options available to students after high school. The evening program is organized as a one-stop “shopping” event. In recent years, up to 3,000 people have attended. We expect similar turnout again this year. Regional scheduling of advisors means that only one night program can be offered for all SBISD schools.

We will welcome more than 150 representatives from regional, state and national colleges and universities, both public and private, as well as technical colleges and military-related institutions on Tuesday, Oct. 10, from 6-8 p.m. at Spring Woods High School.


In addition, due to the early opening of the federal and state financial aid process, we will host financial aid information tables and also welcome representatives from Wells Fargo to share information about saving for higher education.


Lastly, the Texas Vaccine Institute will be offering the Meningococcal Vaccine again this year at College Night.  Accepted insurances are Aetna TRS Active Care I, Aetna TRS Active Care II, Aetna TRS Choice POS II, United Health Care, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Medicaid, and Amerigroup MedicaidStudents covered by these insurances do not have to pay anything and will need to submit a copy of the insurance card and the student’s DOB must be written on the copy.  For children without insurance, the cost is $15.00 per person (for children 18 years old or younger). For 19 years old and older without insurance, the price is $110.00. Cash, check and debit card (Visa and Master Card) will be accepted.
