2022-2023 College Fairs

---

We are partnering with StriveScan to bring student barcode scanning technology to our college fairs this fall. As demonstrated with our past fairs, StriveScan makes the experience more efficient and productive for students and colleges, plus provides GPACAC and the fair organizers with valuable data about the events. 

StriveScan is used at college fairs around the country, including by other NACAC affiliates including Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Ohio, Minnesota, Great Plains, Rocky Mountain, Pacific Northwest, Western, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Hawaii ACACs, plus the Colleges That Change Lives, Jesuit Excellence Tour, and Montana Post Secondary Educational Opportunities Council. More than 2,000 colleges have used StriveScan at hundreds of college fairs around the country and in 68 different countries.

College reps use the StriveScan app on their iPhone, Android, or iPad to scan students' barcodes. Reps can instantly view the student's profile information and take notes right in the app. After the fair, reps export the student data with one click, instantly, to a CSV Excel file.

Students attending the fairs go to the registration page at www.StriveFair.com and fill out a quick form on their phone or computer (in advance or at the door). When they sign up, StriveScan sends them a barcode via text message and email. The next day, students receive an email with a report on all of the colleges and representatives they met along with their contact information and social media profiles. There is no cost for students.

Counselors should encourage their students to pre-register before attending CPC fair. Use StriveScan’s handout for students to assist with student registration!
