<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>I need help! We live in the midwest and do not make much money. My daughter wants to visit a few colleges on the east coast. Does anyone know if colleges pay for potential students to come and tour? She is a first generation, minority student with excellent grades.</p>
<p>The best way to find out would be to call or email the admissions rep for your area.</p>
<p>One of the schools we visited reimbursed partial airfare. It’s Bryant in Rhode Island - they paid $300 toward airfare for a visit; later, if you choose to attend, they reimburse you another $300.</p>
<p>Some schools do have weekends in the fall with events for minority/low income/diverse students. Best way to find out now is to contact the individual schools.</p>
<p>Is she a current junior? Many colleges have summer programs designed to introduce their schools to first generation students.</p>
<p>Many of the top tier schools pay full boat for kids like yours to attend their diversity open houses.</p>
