IMPORTANT DETAILS & FAQ's
"Are you categorized as a Nonprofit Agency when registering?" | This selection is not for nonprofit colleges and universities, but instead for scholarship and student services agencies that are offering services to help students go to college. If you are attending the fair to recruit students to your program or campus, you fall under the colleges & universities pricing above. Thank you!
Do you offer vendor scholarships if we need help covering the fees? | We do offer support to venders who would like to attend and need some financial help. We are a small nonprofit and the funds help support these events. However, we do all we can to help make sure students get the best service at these fairs and would never want funding to be the block to you helping students. We will do all we can to try and help. Please contact us directly to see about next steps. Guide@MontanaColleges.com | 406.531.3531
Strivescan In-Person Scanning Technology Fees | We are working with Strivescan to bring you easy, smooth student data collection at all our in-person & virtual events. We will be contactless this year due to COVID and require all exhibitors to have this technology. This will allow additional safety in no extra contact of sharing pens, contact cards, etc. This also increased your student data quality. You will be required to pay this scanner fee per region for all fairs attending. Fees - $125 per Region (6 Fairs) | $ 225 Regions (12 Fairs) | $275 for all 3 Regions (all 18 Fairs) | We will collect this required fee in August before the fairs. When you sign up for in-person fairs, you are agreeing to pay this additional student data collection / technology fee. *Fee's from Strivescan may adjust for cancelled fairs. More SCANNER details
*Important Safety Notice | In-person fair schedule is subject to change. We will finalize a list of official in-person events by mid-August. At that time, if any of the in-person fairs are cancelled before August 31, 2023, we will offer full refunds for that portion of the fee. See the adjusted cancellation policy for more details.
