This is a friendly reminder that we are requesting your student nominations for our Discover Swarthmore (DS) fly-in program, an all-expenses-paid visit to one of the best liberal arts and engineering colleges in the country. Prospective students get a taste of the college experience by meeting current students and professors, eating in our dining hall, and spending a few nights in our residence halls with student hosts. They also gain valuable information about college admissions and financial aid from our staff of experts. We will host two programs to give students maximum flexibility in visiting our campus during the busy fall semester:
Thursday, September 26, 2024 - Saturday, September 28, 2024OrThursday, October 24, 2024 - Saturday, October 26, 2024
