Join us for the first-ever Virtual Equine College Fair, a national online event designed to connect students, families, and educators with equine-focused colleges, universities, and programs. This interactive, easy-to-access platform will provide valuable exposure for sponsors while offering meaningful engagement opportunities with future equine professionals.

High-visibility promotion through email, social media, and event materials
-
Showcase your educational programs, services, and support for the horse industry
Who Should Exhibit or Sponsor?
The Virtual Equine College Fair is designed to showcase the many educational pathways that lead to successful careers in the horse industry. We encourage participation from institutions and organizations that offer degrees, certificates, technical training, internships, scholarships, or experiential learning opportunities related to horses, agriculture, animal science, and allied industries.
Whether your institution offers a two-year certificate, a four-year degree, graduate studies, or specialized workforce training, this event provides an opportunity to connect with motivated high school students from across the United States who are exploring their future educational and career options.
By exhibiting or sponsoring, your organization will help inspire future leaders while increasing visibility among students, parents, educators, and equine enthusiasts nationwide.

The Virtual Equine College Fair showcases much more than equine science degree programs. Whether students are interested in hands-on careers working directly with horses, veterinary medicine, agricultural business, communications, marketing, or the many support industries that keep the equine world thriving, this event will introduce students to a wide variety of educational pathways.
