Summer is half-way over and we're ramping up!

* Registration is underway for those colleges and eligible organizations who want to exhibit at Iowa ACAC College Fairs. We will host 39 fairs across the state - did you know last year we had over 14,000 students register through StriveScan to attend our fairs? Don't delay - the priority registration deadline is August 14. After that date there is an automatic late fee of $300 assessed. Requests after September 1 will only be honored if there is room and if paid for upfront. Register at https://www.iowaacac.org/college-fairs

* Our 2026 Admission Counselor University is July 27 & 28, hosted by Ellsworth Community College. This popular annual event for new admission professionals offers practical training and tools to build a strong foundation as an admissions counselor. New professionals will connect with peers, grow professionally, and collaborate with others who are passionate about supporting students on their college journey.

* NACAC Conference is in our backyard in October - Minneapolis! Want to attend but your office budget doesn't allow? You can apply for our Opportunity Grant to help cover travel, lodging, registration, and meals! Apply at https://www.iowaacac.org/opportunity-grant
