The CSRA College Night is a cooperative effort among Department of Energy (DOE), Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC (SRNS) and its partners, local private schools, business and industry, and local government. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for students, parents and guidance counselors to learn about education opportunities available from accredited colleges and universities. Representatives from Engineering and Science and Liberal Arts colleges and universities from across the country provide information to all interested participants. In addition, professional and technical societies also attend. The evening is concluded with scholarship drawings. This program is for high school level students, parents and area educators.

The purpose of the event is to inform CSRA high school students (primarily 11th and 12th graders) and their parents of college education opportunities across the United States. The event originated in 1993 as the Engineering College Night for ABET Accredited Engineering Colleges and Universities only. In 1994, Engineering College Night was changed to CSRA College Night. A partnership was formed with eight independent schools in Augusta, GA (Liberal Arts College Night) to offer a joint fair.
