The Campus Pride National College Fair Program is the only one of its kind in the country assisting LGBTQ and ally students and their families prepare for post-secondary education. The fairs provide nationwide access to essential information about LGBTQ-friendly campuses, scholarships and the college admissions process. The Campus Pride National College Fair Program is designed to address questions from LGBTQ and ally students related to academics, student life and campus safety.

Campus Pride has had over 240 different colleges participate in one or more of the college fairs since its inception in 2007-08. Each fair is hosted with local partner organizations for LGBTQ youth and other service organizations.

“Now more than ever, LGBTQ youth and families want to know what campus is the best when it comes to academics, safety and inclusion.  The college fairs have been that place to find the campuses who take responsibility for LGBTQ youth,” Windmeyer said.
