Given the cancelation of in-person regional college fairs this fall, NJACAC has been working to provide a virtual alternative for our students to engage with colleges and universities across the country.

We are excited to announce that NJACAC will be partnering with StriveScan to produce the  New Jersey Virtual College Exploration Program for students this fall.

The goal of the New Jersey Virtual College Exploration Program is to provide students with a wealth of college search information, allow them to browse and learn about different colleges, and ask questions of admission counselors, all in a safe, flexible, online format. 

The program will consist of college knowledge sessions on topics such as finding a college that fits, choosing a major, tips for writing a college essay, and more, presented by admission counselors. The program will also feature information sessions from a wide variety of colleges and universities. 

StriveScan hosted their nationwide Strive Virtual College Exploration program this spring and it was an overwhelming success with over 180,000 students and 500 colleges and universities from around the world. NJACAC and other associations are partnering with StriveScan to bring a more tailored version of this program to our members this fall, designed specifically for New Jersey students.
