The National Society of High School Scholars is pleased to continue its partnership with The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) National College Fairs Program. NACAC, a dynamic organization of counseling and enrollment professionals, helps students realize their full educational potential, with particular emphasis on the transition to postsecondary education. To this aim, NACAC holds approximately 50 National College Fairs and 18 Performing and Visual Arts Fairs across the United States. These fairs are for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors to learn about a wide range of institutions and gain insight regarding the college admissions and the financial aid process. Greg Ferguson, Director of National College Fairs, Programs, and Services states, "For many parents and students it is a one-stop shopping experience, an opportunity for them to consider as many institutions as they would possibly like to attend without leaving their geographic area. It saves both time and money!"
These fairs are an excellent resource for NSHSS members and their parents to begin the college search and meet personally with admissions professionals. For additional information about the fairs and how to attend, please visit "Tips for Attending a National College Fair" on the NACAC website. Here you will find tips for attending the college fairs and how to make the most of the experience, as well as FAQ's. You can also search on this page to see which colleges and universities will be exhibiting at the fairs.
NSHSS and NACAC welcome you and your family to take advantage of this great opportunity, and we hope to meet you at an upcoming College Fair!
