National Association for College Admission Counseling

The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), founded in 1937, is an organization of more than 25,000 professionals from around the world dedicated to serving students transitioning from secondary to postsecondary education.

[2] NACAC holds several annual professional development events, including a national conference, and runs the National College Fairs program and Performing and Visual Arts College Fairs program which directly connect high school students with a wide variety of postsecondary institutions.

NACAC's National College Fair program provides the opportunity for students to meet college and university admission representatives to discuss courses, admission requirements, financial aid, and student life.

The fairs are held throughout the country in both the spring and fall and are free and open to the public.

There are 23 regional affiliates of NACAC and they operate in a similar fashion and on a smaller scale.
