The National Association of College Admission Counseling (NACAC)  College Fair is on March 21, 2026, at the Charlotte Convention Center, from 12 p.m.- 3 p.m. 

This free event is appropriate not only for high school students, but also for middle school students who are beginning to explore college options and want to start planning for their future.  It's never too early to begin those conversations.

During the college fair,  students will have an opportunity to attend informative breakout sessions, speak with various college and university representatives from across the country, get answers about the college application process, financial aid, and so much more.
