KETTERING, OH (September 30, 2025) |
Day Air Credit Union is proud to announce the continued success of its annual College Prep Night event, held at Day Air Ballpark in downtown Dayton. This year’s event drew over 2,000 students and family members and featured a record 98 colleges and universities from across the country.
Now in its fifth year, College Prep Night has grown into one of the Miami Valley’s largest and most impactful college readiness events. The evening provided high school students and their families with the unique opportunity to connect directly with representatives from nearly 100 higher education institutions, ask questions, and gather valuable insights about admissions, scholarships, and academic offerings, all in one place.
“Helping students and families navigate the college journey is one of the most meaningful ways we can support the future of our community,” said Joe Eckley, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Day Air Credit Union. “We’re proud to host this event each year and to continue growing its reach and impact.”
In addition to meeting with colleges, attendees had the opportunity to explore tools and resources designed to ease the financial planning process for higher education. Day Air showcased its Student Loan Marketplace, a free online tool that empowers students and families to compare up to 15 private loan options in under two minutes offering a simple, side-by-side look at rates and terms to make smart financial decisions.
