The William Floyd High School Counseling Center held its first on-site admissions event of the 2025-26 academic year, providing students with a chance to meet college representatives and discuss their educational plans. The event, which is one of five scheduled for the school year, allowed students to have their transcripts reviewed, explore scholarship opportunities, and in some cases receive immediate acceptance offers.
During this initial event, 210 students met with representatives from ten colleges and universities. Collectively, these students were offered $1,188,000 in scholarships. Additional scholarship amounts are still pending determination. Participating institutions included SUNY Farmingdale, SUNY Old Westbury, Long Island University, St. Joseph’s University, Pace University, Johnson and Wales University, Mercy University, Iona University, New York Institute of Technology and Suffolk County Community College.
The Counseling Center announced that the next on-site admissions event will take place on Friday, December 12. This session will focus on Suffolk County Community College meeting with students interested in nursing majors. Another event is planned for Tuesday, December 16 for students interested in any major at Suffolk County Community College. Two more events are scheduled for February 11 and April 23 with both Suffolk County Community College and Eastern Suffolk BOCES participating.
In addition to these events, Medical Assisting recently hosted an in-class admissions session with Fairleigh Dickinson University. Approximately 50 students were accepted into health science or nursing programs as a result of this visit. Seniors are also planning a campus visit to Fairleigh Dickinson University's New Jersey location next week.
