COLLEGE FAIR LOCATION
COLLEGE FAIR INFORMATION

Representatives from more than 195 colleges, universities, businesses, military organizations, and gap-year programs are expected to participate in the 2027 Spring Southern Connecticut College & Career Fair, scheduled for Wednesday, April 21, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, Connecticut. This free event is open to all high school students and families throughout southern Connecticut and the surrounding region.


The College & Career Fair offers students and families an opportunity to connect directly with admissions representatives from four-year colleges, community colleges, technical schools, and other postsecondary institutions. Representatives from businesses, military organizations, and gap-year programs will also be available to discuss career paths and educational opportunities. Students can learn about academic programs, admission requirements, campus life, scholarships, financial aid, and other important aspects of planning for life after high school.


Before attending, students are encouraged to review the list of participating colleges and organizations and identify those that interest them most. The organizers recommend registering in advance through StriveScan, which provides students with a personal barcode that college and career representatives can scan to exchange contact information. Researching schools beforehand and preparing questions about academic programs, admission policies, financial aid, and campus life can help make conversations more productive.


Be sure to visit schools and organizations already on your list, but don't hesitate to explore unfamiliar opportunities. With colleges, universities, career programs, and other organizations representing a wide range of educational and professional pathways, the Southern Connecticut College & Career Fair is an excellent place to explore your options and discover possibilities you may not have previously considered.
