SMUHSD College Fair: October 14, 2026
The College Fair will be held at San Mateo High School this year and will feature presentations, in English and Spanish.
More than 75 colleges and universities will be in attendance, including several with representatives who speak Spanish!
Details:- Wednesday, October 14, 6:30 - 8 p.m.
- San Mateo High School, 506 N. Delaware Street, San Mateo
Registration is not required but encouraged and here’s why:
- Free and Easy Access: Registration is completely free for students, takes about two minutes
- Save time: Instead of manually writing down their name, address, email, and academic interests at every single college table, students scan their personal barcode in seconds.
- Get a Post-Fair Summary: The day after the fair, students receive an email recap listing every college and representative they scanned with, including contact details and social media links.
- Legible Information: It prevents colleges from struggling to read messy handwriting on traditional inquiry cards, ensuring they receive accurate information.
