A POST-GRAD

MASTERCLASS

A Post-Grad Masterclass

Whether you are about to graduate from high school or already pursuing higher education, this program is for you! Returning in 2024 after a brilliant inaugural event, we are excited to connect Alexandria’s students, in both high school and college, with professionals working in industries of interest. Students will learn about the state of their future industries as well as essential curriculum skills for adult life.

This three and a half hour program is free for students to attend. A few lucky students, who attends all three sessions (opening, track one, and track two) will be eligible for our interest-based scholarships! This year our scholarships total $4,000.

Thank you to our presenting sponsor, Virginia Tech!
