Since 2019, Think College has been honored to sponsor the National Down Syndrome Congress (NDSC) College Fair, offered as part of their annual convention. This year, the NDSC convention is being held in Phoenix on July 25 – 28, with the College Fair on July 27th. More than a dozen colleges and university programs from around the country will be in attendance, each with unique offerings for students with intellectual disability.
Ruby’s Rainbow, whose purpose is to advance college options for students with Down syndrome by providing college scholarships, spreading awareness of their capabilities, and supporting their dreams of higher education and independence, will be there to answer questions about their college scholarship program. Think College will have a big spread in the exhibit hall throughout the conference, and will be set up at the entrance to the College Fair, as well. Come visit us to get the most recent updates about college programs for students with intellectual disability, learn about our most popular resources, and get a one-on-one tour of our website tools.
As the leading national resource of support and information for anyone seeking to learn about Down syndrome, NDSC prioritizes advances in policy and practice around health, advocacy, independent living, employment and education for people with Down syndrome. We know that college is an option for students with intellectual disability, and we are proud to highlight this educational option at this premier event for and about individuals with Down syndrome.
