What is a FLY-IN? A Guide to Fly-In Programs
It is a program hosted by a college or university that provides prospective high school students an opportunity to visit the campus.
These programs are usually free, and serve as a great opportunity for visiting students to learn more about the school's academic programs and experience campus life.
Some programs are more competitive than others. Some require a nomination from a teacher or counselor.
These opportunities are sometimes about improving access to higher education and are often for students who are the first in their families to go to college, under-represented minority students, or students who might not otherwise be able to afford a trip to campus.
