The Association for Pre-College Program Directors is proud to present the 2021-22 Summer Pre-College Program Fairs, a series of virtual events that provide students and their families the opportunity to learn about academic summer programs at top US colleges and universities.

At each fair, attendees may visit virtual booths, where you can ask questions via text or video chat with summer program representatives.

Registration is FREE to attendees. We invite you to visit the Virtual Fairs website at https://precollegeassociation.org/fairs for complete information on dates, times, and which institutions will be represented at each event.
