various Lutheran colleges conduct the fairs in the fall and spring to
interact with college-bound youth and their families. College fairs are
sponsored in part by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans -- a Minneapolis-
ased, not-for-profit financial services organization serving members of
the ELCA and other Lutheran church bodies. Each 90-minute fair is
preceded by on-site registration and a 30-minute financial aid seminar.
