Las Llaves Draws Record Crowd

(Mesquite, TX) – Las Llaves del Éxito/ The Keys to Success was held on October 27 at Eastfield College. Approximately 1,074 attendees registered for the event.

College representatives, admissions specialists and financial aid advisors talked to families about the application process and steps they need to take to be considered for admission and
financial aid. The event was free and open to the public; students in grades six through 12, and their parents, were encouraged to attend. (A related spring event will be scheduled specifically for high school juniors and seniors.)  

Las Llaves was started several years ago by a committee of community members who wanted to encourage high school students to graduate and continue their education. The conference featured information sessions in English and Spanish about topics such as planning for college; paying for college; and applying for and learning more about the opportunities that a college education can provide.
