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: Fall 2022 Fly-In and Diversity Programs by Cappex, 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.
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.
