I’m a student, do I need a parent or guardian accompanying me?

No. While parents are encouraged and do attend, you can come on your own.

I’m a prospective student, do I need to register to attend? 

We strongly encourage students attending sign up with StriveScan.com to fill out a quick form and easily share your information with the colleges and businesses you’re interested in. You ‘ll then be texted and emailed a barcode that the colleges, universities, and businesses can scan. When a college scans your barcode, they will receive your information.

You’ll get a copy of your barcode resent to you two hours prior to the fair, saving you time at the door of the event if you are already signed up.

Colleges and businesses will scan students’ barcodes to send them more information about their schools. It’s free and will allow students more time at the fair. The day after the fair, students will receive a report email with information about each college and business with whom they scanned.
