"Fly-in Programs" (for Juniors & Seniors)
"Fly-in Programs" @ Colleges for Seniors:
The overall goal of such programs is to provide an opportunity for high school seniors, who may not have had the opportunity otherwise, to travel to and visit the school for free or a low cost. By submitting an application to one of the programs below, students may be invited to visit a school's campus for multiple days, spend the night on campus, and have their travel to and from the campus covered by the school.
Explore the list of our college partners that offer fall fly-in programs for high school seniors, and consider applying by their respective deadlines. Some programs may have overlapping dates, however students should apply to as many programs as they are interested in even if there are conflicting dates as they may not be selected for each program.
