“Taking Steps Towards College Success” is a FREE event that helps more Arizona students and families become college bound, focused and prepared. The day’s activities start with a college-going resource fair at Phoenix Civic Space Park which includes over 50 organizations including non-profit organizations, in-state universities, and scholarship-granting organizations.

Following the college-going resource fair, participants will walk to the Phoenix Convention Center culminating the walk at the National Association of College Admission Counseling (NACAC) College Fair. The fair provides students and parents with the opportunity to visit with over 200 national and international colleges and universities.

An Economic Imperative
The future of Arizona is inextricably linked to our state’s ability to produce a robust educated workforce. It is estimated that over 68% of all Arizona jobs will require some form of postsecondary training by 2020, yet less than 18% of Arizona residents 25-64 have a Bachelor’s degree and only 48% have an Associates’ degree. Join us for this event to help advocate for the need to help increase the number of Arizona students who pursue a higher education.
