With a new school year just around the corner (so long, summer!), now is the perfect time to start thinking about if graduate school is the right next step for you. Idealist is here to help by hosting a series of Grad Fairs throughout the fall.

Starting in September, we’ll visit 17 cities across the United States so you can meet with representatives from hundreds of colleges and universities. At a Grad Fair, you’ll learn about the admissions process, financial aid, and degree programs in nonprofit management, public health, public policy, social work, education, international affairs, and many other fields. This is the perfect opportunity to explore how graduate school might help you strengthen your skill set, grow your network, and advance your career in social change.
Grad Fairs are free and open to the public.
