College fairs are an excellent place for students to begin planning for their future. It is a place to meet representatives from in-state and out-of-state colleges and universities.

The PWCS College Fairs are hosted by the Virginia Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers and will partner again with StriveScan. Students are not required to register ahead of time but may choose to register prior to or on the day of the event to easily share contact information with college representatives using a personalized QR code. There is no cost to register for the event. Below is information if you choose to register – strongly encouraged, but not required.

How Registration & Scanning Works

  1. Students/Parents/Counselors/Professionals are encouraged to register at StriveFair.com.
  2. Fill out a short registration form.
  3. You will receive your barcode which allows you to easily and safely share contact information with colleges for free.
  4. Scan your barcode with colleges to receive more information.

College reps can instantly view the student's information the students add to their StriveScan profile. In addition, high school students can view their unofficial transcript in StudentVUE to add their current GPA to their registration profile (this is optional). StriveFair QR code
