Exploring Fly-In Programs and Visit Experiences

Fly-in programs offer a unique opportunity for prospective students to experience campus life firsthand. These programs, typically sponsored by the institution, are designed to provide an immersive experience that goes beyond the traditional campus tour. They often are for students from underrepresented backgrounds, first-generation college students, or those who may not be able to afford a visit to campus on their own.

What Are Fly-In Programs?

Fly-in programs are short, often overnight, visits to a college or university that are fully funded by the institution. These programs cover travel expenses, lodging, meals, and sometimes even provide a stipend for extra costs. The goal of these programs is to give prospective students a comprehensive view of the academic, social, and cultural environment of that college or university.
