Researching Financial Aid (All Grades)
The Upper Moreland High School Counseling Department encourages students to attend an open house. It is an excellent idea to include both open houses and college tours in your college exploration. The open house allows you to see many of the activities available on campus while the traditional college tour lets you experience the college in a more typical environment.
Be sure to contact the college in advance to verify the date and time as some of these dates may change. Many schools request that you register before coming to an open house or campus tour. If you do not see a college listed that you are interested in, please call or visit the website of the college/university to schedule a visit.
UMHS College Visits- College Admission Representatives from numerous Colleges come to the High School during the school year. 11th and 12th Grade students only can register on their Naviance account to attend these sessions.
