Launch Your Future: Philly College Fair 2026 – Mar 26

Posted by Philadelphia College Prep Roundtable on February 3, 2026

The Philadelphia College Prep Roundtable, in collaboration with The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Center Philadelphia, is pleased to share an early notification about an upcoming city wide college fair: Launch Your Future: Philly College Fair 2026.

This free event is designed to support Philadelphia students and families as they explore postsecondary pathways. In addition to traditional 2- and 4-year college options, the fair will spotlight programs and careers connected to athletics, health and wellness, and the performing arts. Students and families will also have access to workshops and direct engagement with college representatives and program leaders.

We are notifying you well in advance to support early planning, particularly if transportation arrangements (e.g., school buses, group travel, or coordinated visits) may be needed for students to attend. We hope this advance notice allows schools, districts, and partner organizations to incorporate the fair into spring planning calendars.

We welcome your support in sharing this opportunity with students, families, and staff—and we invite your feedback as we continue planning. Additional details, including a list of participating institutions and workshop topics, will be shared closer to the event.
