College fairs are an excellent place for students to begin planning for their future. It is a place to meet representatives from in-state and out-of-state colleges and universities.
The PWCS College Fairs are hosted by the Virginia Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (VACRAO) and will partner again with StriveScan. Students are not required to register ahead of time but may choose to register prior to or on the day of the event to easily share contact information with college representatives using a personalized QR code. There is no cost to register for the event. Below is information if you choose to register–strongly encouraged, but not required.

COLLEGE & CAREER SCHOOL COUNSELOR RESOURCES
The following resources are provided for college and career school counselors to assist in promoting StriveScan for student registration:
- Utilize the Fair Toolkit to promote student registration. These materials can be helpful both in advance of the fair, and day of the event. As students arrive for the fair, StriveScan recommends asking, “Do you have a barcode?” If they do not, provide them with one of the handouts included or share the barcode provided and direct them to sign up.
