The Native American College Fair Planning Committee is busy preparing for the 13th annual Native American College Fair.

We adapt our event each year to best fit student needs. We have made the decision to not host an in-person event during the 2025-26 school year. Instead we are creating a website that will be available October 1 through the end of the school year. We understand that funding may be a bit uncertain for American Indian Education Programs during the upcoming school year, and that programs may not be able to bring their students to an in-person event. We hope that program and school staff will be able to utilize our website with their students to explore postsecondary options throughout the school year.

The 2025 Native American College Fair website will include college profiles, departments and programs will have the opportunity for a profile linked through their college's page, financial aid profiles, speaker videos and bios, and resources for educators to use with their students. This year we will also be highlighting trade careers by asking colleges to include information specific to their school, and a trade career section.

As we have since 2021, we are requiring that colleges, departments, programs, and financial aid programs be Native American specific or offer Native American specific supports. Examples of Native American specific supports include student programs, degrees, student centers, elders-in-residence programs. Additional examples are available on the form submission pages. Focusing on these schools and programs will allow future Native American college students to connect with the schools that currently offer culturally specific supports.

We hope that colleges, departments, programs, and financial aid programs will take this opportunity to share information with Native American students throughout the United States, and that educators will use our website to explore postsecondary information with their students.

Form submission for Colleges and Universities, Departments and Programs, Financial Aid Programs, Speakers, and Trade Professionals can be completed through our website. This will allow us to create profiles and gather any additional information that may be needed. Submission of a form does not guarantee inclusion, a planning committee member will send a confirmation email to those who will be included in the 2025 Native American College Fair.
