The College and Career Center and the College and Career Specialist assist students with their college, career and employment searches. Students can find a wide variety of resources on colleges, careers, scholarships, financial aid, part-time and full-time employment opportunities, and SAT, ACT, and TOEFL registration. The goal of the Career Center is to help students make informed career decisions about their post-secondary plans, which may include four-year colleges, two-year colleges, technical schools, apprenticeships, military, full-time employment, or gap year opportunities.

College Admissions Representatives

College representatives schedule private visits to Fairfax High School from mid-September through October. These visits provide a personal touch that may not be available in a school's literature. Representatives inform students about the school's admissions process and deadlines, campus life, housing, majors available and scholarships. Students have the ability to ask questions and this is often a chance for students to meet the person who will read their applications in the future.

College visits are updated daily in Family Connection (through students' Blackboard accounts), under the colleges tab, view all upcoming college visits link. Students should sign-up for the visits online, print the confirmation page, and remember to ask their teacher to be excused 24 hours in advance of the visit. The confirmation page will serve as the student's pass and it should have a teacher's signature in order to attend the visit. Most visits are held in the College and Career Center.

Scholarships

All scholarships are listed in Naviance:  https://www.fcps.edu/naviance, under Colleges - Scholarship Search.
