Fly-in/Diversity Programs

What are Fly-in Programs?

Universities pay the travel expenses for low income students to fly in and visit their campus. Most often, price is often a barrier. Fly in programs provide an opportunity that otherwise would not be available. Students must apply and if accepted, can visit campus for a weekend at no cost.
