Outreach Programs
College Outreach ExPOs
Each year UNT Outreach hosts thousands of students in grades 3-10 during Outreach ExPOs (college readiness visits to the UNT campus), college enrollment workshops and college awareness workshops. Each Outreach ExPO consists of The Value of College motivational presentation by the Champions of Outreach student leaders, a tour of our campus by the Eagle Ambassadors and information about college admissions, financial aid, scholarships and transition to college.
Visits generally are scheduled between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and can be adapted to fit your interests. To register for a campus visit you must complete the on-line request at http://www.unt.edu/tour.
Lunch can be arranged. No refunds are made after you submit your final student count.
G-Force and Go Centers

UNT's Collegiate G-Force is the recipient of a $310,000 Work-Study Student Mentorship Program Grant from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The grant is the largest awarded to the 32 universities that received funding from the state. G-Force/Go Centers is a higher education partnership with 10 high schools in the Denton-Dallas-Fort Worth area, UNT and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The purpose of this program is to motivate high school students to continue with their education after high school. UNT's 50 G-Force members assist students with understanding the college application process, academic tutoring, and mentoring. UNT Outreach currently supports Go Centers in six cities, three counties and six school districts. |
