Exhibitors for College Fairs

1. The only representatives who are able to register as an exhibitor are those from a post-secondary institution.
2. The Pennsylvania Association for College Admission Counseling (PACAC) seeks support from organizations that assist in providing free auxiliary services to students in search of access to higher education.  Organizations under this umbrella include banks/student loan companies, testing agencies, community agencies providing counseling services to college-bound students, college resource publications, scholarship organizations and state higher education lending programs.

Exhibitor Guideline for Fair Day

• • A salaried staff member or a trained volunteer must represent the institution at the fair.
• • Admission requirements and deadlines should be stated accurately.
• • Precise information about costs, financial aid opportunities, housing opportunities and deposits should be readily available
• • Pictures and description of the campus(es) should be current and realistic
• • Descriptions of special programs (i.e. support services for learning disabilities, overseas study, AP credits, honors programs, etc.) should be accurate and specific.
