Fly-In Programs
-
"Fly-In" programs are free or reduced-cost opportunities for seniors to visit colleges. Application timelines vary. Many, but not all, programs are intended for underrepresented populations and/or students who are the first in their family to go to college.
Check the details on each college's website; we expect some in-person and some virtual programs in the Fall of 2022. In-person programs may have a Covid vaccination requirement. However you attend, one of these events is a chance to visit and get more detailed and personalized information than you would in a standard information session.
Search this list: Fly-In and Diversity Programs by Cappex (may or may not be updated for 2023; check each college's website for the most up to date information), and also use this 2022 Rural & Small Town Fly-In Programs list. Though we are not rural, this list has good program summaries that may be useful even though it is from September 2022.
And, consult the websites of colleges that interest you for the most up-to-date information. If a college that interests you doesn't have a program, see if it has a virtual tour that will take you there for a few minutes.
