The Greenville County College Fair is held over two  days each year in the fall.  The dates depend upon those dates assigned to Greenville’s Fair by CACRAO.

• We average 130 institutions per year and is held at the TD Convention Center – one of the nation’s largest convention and meeting facilities.
• Greenville County Schools (GCS) is the largest public school system in South Carolina (49th largest in the nation) with 14 High Schools and 4 Charter High Schools averaging  5,200 rising juniors and 4,600 rising seniors.  Nine GCS high schools have been ranked in the top 5% among America’s Best Schools  by Newsweek magazine and has the largest PTA membership in the state.
• Private Schools include Bob Jones Academy, Christ Church Episcopal, Hampton Park Christian, Saint Joseph’s Catholic, Shannon Forest Christian, and Southside Christian as well as several other private schools
• 90% of Greenville County graduates pursue some form of higher education and $95 million in college scholarships were distributed last year.

• Advertising, tables, chairs, vinyl-topped draping (your own tablecloth can be added), and refreshments are included in the  registration fee that ONLY is paid by College Representatives.
• Greenville’s award-winning downtown delights visitors with its array of restaurants, art galleries, theaters and specialty boutiques. Downtown the Peace Center hosts NY style Broadway productions year round and the Bi-Lo Center sports and entertainment arena is one of the top 50 venues in the world.
