It’s never too early to plan for college. That's why Arizona State University is inviting middle and high school students and parents from across the Valley to Future Sun Devil Family (FSDF) Day: a free half-day college prep conference. FSDF Day equips parents and students with the critical information needed to pursue higher education and achieve college success.

Through a series of fun, interactive workshops, FSDF Day presenters address frequently asked questions regarding financial aid, admission requirements and the steps students should take during high school to be prepared to succeed in college. The workshops will be presented in English and Spanish.

The event will also feature campus tours, opportunities to talk with current students, and an appearance by Sparky. Participants will receive an ASU gift bag. 

The event is free and open to the public. Visitors can RSVPhere, https://eoss.asu.edu/fsdf.
