2026 Newman Guide Virtual College Fair (Fall)

Is College Still Worth It?

Today, Catholic families are asking important questions about the cost, culture, and value of higher education. Is college worth the investment? Will it prepare students for a meaningful career? What kind of community will students find? And will their faith be strengthened along the way?

The Newman Guide Virtual College Fair, presented by The Cardinal Newman Society in partnership with Kolbe Academy, will help Catholic parents and high school students explore those questions while connecting directly with colleges recommended in The Newman Guide.

Meet college representatives, explore virtual college booths, and attend featured sessions on academics, student life, admissions, scholarships and financial aid, the college search timeline, career preparation, and the role faithful Catholic education can play in forming students for life and their vocation.

Discover what sets Newman Guide colleges apart, learn how a faithful Catholic college education may be more attainable than you think, and consider not only where a student can earn a degree, but where they can grow in faith, prepare for a career, and discern God's calling in their life.

Come discover the Newman Guide difference and gain the information you need to confidently navigate your college search.
