Formed in 1910, LECNA represents 41 Lutheran colleges across Canada and the United States, including the 28 colleges and universities of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Admissions representatives from 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-based, 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.
