At this event, you’ll learn about all-expenses-paid overnight visit programs, often referred to as “fly-in” programs, that many schools offer for students who are the first in their families to go to college, under-represented minority students, or students who might not otherwise be able to afford a trip to campus. Hear more about what these programs entail, how to apply, and how colleges are adapting these programs as a result of COVID-19.
This free, virtual event is recommended for all students entering grades 9-12, and is open to counselors, as well.
The program kicks off with an opening panel discussion, followed by a fair-style event where attendees can register to visit rooms featuring several Coalition for College member schools.
