PATH 2026 brings together students on dependent visas with 40+ confirmed universities — all under one roof — one day, one venue, face-to-face conversations with admissions officers who can answer your exact questions about applications, tuition, financial aid, and life on campus.
If you're on an H-4, L-2, J-2, or any other dependent visa, you face a set of college-related questions no general university fair is designed to answer. PATH 2026 is different.
Every session, every speaker, every university representative at PATH is selected specifically to address what dependent-visa families need to know — from in-state tuition strategy to visa transition timelines.
Meet admissions reps from NYU, Rutgers, Drexel, Rowan, and dozens more — all in one day.
Sessions on in-state tuition, visa transitions, financial aid, and career pathways — led by practitioners.
No tickets. No fees. No hidden charges. Simply register online and walk in on the day.
You're on your parent's work visa — and you have a limited window to claim in-state tuition before transitioning to F-1. PATH is designed around your situation.
The L-2 and J-2 to F-1 path has specific timelines, documentation requirements, and financial implications. Learn directly from those who manage these transitions daily.
Already on F-1 and considering a transfer? Graduate school? PATH features both undergraduate and graduate admissions representatives at the same venue.
Many of the most consequential decisions are family decisions. The panels are designed so students and parents receive the same information simultaneously.
Families from NJ, NY, PA, and CT are all welcome. NJ universities are a particular focus — their in-state tuition benefits can save international families over $15,000 per year.
The earlier you start your planning, the more options you have. PATH is relevant from sophomore year onwards — bring the whole family and start building your strategy now.
40+ universities with representatives available the entire day. No appointments. Walk up to any booth, ask your questions, collect materials, and compare options side by side.
A detailed session on how to qualify for in-state tuition rates — the timeline, residency requirements, and financial implications of staying on H-4 vs. transitioning early.
Immigration attorneys and university DSOs walk through the H-4 to F-1 process, L-2 to F-1 transitions, and how to time the change to protect your eligibility.
Learn what aid is available to international and dependent-visa students, how to compare packages, and what questions to ask each university's financial aid office.
These universities have already confirmed their participation. We are actively adding more institutions and expect 40+ universities to attend. Check back regularly for updates.
Arrive, collect your name badge and programme guide, and orient yourself with the university floor plan before the formal sessions begin.
All 40+ university booths open simultaneously. Representatives are ready for questions about admissions, programs, financial aid, campus life, and visa matters.
A detailed workshop with university financial aid officers and tax advisors walking through how to establish New Jersey residency and qualify for in-state rates — and what it means for your family's financial plan.
Immigration attorneys and university international student advisors walk through the transition process, common pitfalls, and how to time the change to protect your academic and financial options.
No timed slots, no queues, no appointments. Browse the floor freely throughout the day. University reps will be available the entire time to answer questions about admissions, tuition, financial aid, programmes, and campus life.
The exhibition floor closes. Take any final brochures, exchange contacts with university representatives, and head home with a clearer picture of your options.
One day. 40+ universities. Real conversations with the people who can shape your future. PATH 2026 is a free university exhibition — the only cost is not coming.
