Where in the world is the lion now?
NSHSS is partnering 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!” -MORE-
