Prospective students interested in attending West Georgia Technical College this year will get a great chance to discover what WGTC has to offer at five Open House events to be hosted by the college.

Whether prospective students are first-time freshmen, wanting to earn their GED, current high school students or returning to school to move ahead, everyone will be able to find relevant information, take tours and have the chance to win some prizes at the Open House events.

The events will be held on select days between Feb. 7 and March 21 on all five WGTC campuses. Open House will take place at the Coweta Campus on Feb. 7; Douglas Campus on Feb. 21; Murphy Campus on March 1; LaGrange Campus on March 16; and Carroll Campus on March 21, with all events being held from 5-7 p.m.

Open House events will feature tours starting every 20 minutes, with tour guides showing visitors the campus, special labs and classrooms and an academic program fair, where prospective students can meet their future instructors and learn all about programs offered at WGTC. If participants visit all booths at the fair, their names will be entered to win prizes like a Kindle Fire, a Yeti tumbler, a Cosmetology gift certificate and more.

Prospective students will also be able to apply during the event, with WGTC waiving the $25 application fee. Additionally, those who are stumped about their FAFSA will find trained professionals who will help them apply for financial aid. If you’re interested in getting help with the FAFSA documents, please bring or have electronic access to your 2015-16 tax returns and Social Security numbers of everyone in your household.

The event is free, with free food, T-shirts and other giveaways being provided.

If prospective students are unable to visit their closest campus, they can stop by an Open House event on another campus and still apply to WGTC for free.

The Coweta Campus is located at 200 Campus Drive in Newnan; Douglas Campus at 4600 Timber Ridge Drive in Douglasville; Murphy Campus at 176 Murphy Campus Blvd. in Waco; LaGrange Campus at 1 College Circle in LaGrange; and Carroll Campus at 997 S. Highway 16 in Carrollton.
