What is College Signing Day?
On Friday, May 2, 2025, Camden Education Fund, in partnership with the City of Camden, will proudly host the 4th Annual Citywide College Signing Day. Seniors from Camden’s district, charter, renaissance, private, and parochial schools are invited to take part in this citywide celebration.
Inspired by Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s College Signing Day initiative under Reach Higher, this event is part of a national movement with over 3,000 celebrations across the country. Here in Camden, we’re honored to continue this tradition—celebrating our seniors not just with fanfare, but with a strong message: we are proud of you, we believe in you, and we can’t wait to see what you do next.
This day is all about honoring the Class of 2025—students who have committed to a college, university, trade or technical program, or military service. It’s a moment for them to be recognized for their hard work and to be welcomed into the next phase of their journey. Students will connect with representatives from their future institutions and begin building bonds with classmates from across the city.
With an expected crowd of 800+ college-bound students, the event will be full of energy—featuring a pep rally vibe, school shout-outs, scholarships, and more. It’s more than a celebration—it’s a send-off to the future.
