Fall Diversity Visit Programs: A Compilation

Keilexandra · September 11, 2009, 11:49pm

Added new information on Colby’s visit program. I didn’t know they offered merit scholarships, either (for students of color only, $3000 summer stipend PLUS no work expectation and increased grant aid).

<hr>

This is an up-to-date (as of August 2009) list of FALL diversity overnight programs offering free transportation/room/board. Open to ALANA students (including Asians) unless otherwise noted. I’ve provided contact information only for confirmed '09 programs.

?Yale - Multicultural Open House, 10/7 '06, travel grant?

Millancad · September 13, 2009, 12:18am

I called Yale about theirs and they said the sign up would be up around the end of this month. I think they said the date was October 26th, but I don’t remember 100%. And they said that travel was not covered.

Keilexandra · September 13, 2009, 12:22am

Thanks for the update! I’ve removed Yale from the list since travel is not covered.

Keilexandra · September 14, 2009, 5:10pm

makulit · September 26, 2009, 5:01pm

both carleton and middlebury got back to me with my acceptances this morning, but i only have the time to attend one. i realize that this choice depends on my specific preferences, yet i was wondering if anyone could suggest one or the other or give me more specific information. i have to choose within the next week. unfortunately, i tend to be very indecisive, so i’ll see where that leaves me.

Keilexandra · September 26, 2009, 11:07pm

^ I was accepted to Midd’s program this morning, am still waiting to hear back from Carleton (Is that a bad sign? Oh well). Why can’t you attend both? The dates don’t conflict, and you do have 6 school days in between.

A recent addition from the Hispanic Students subforum:

itsv · October 2, 2009, 8:28pm

Cornell not only has the engineering diversity weekend but also overnight diversity hosting weekends for the college in general. First one is this weekend but other dates are scheduled. Cornell will pay for some students but will also let other students who have their own funds to join. DS’s friend is going this weekend and I’ll report back his experience. Ds received a letter from Dee Gamble, director of multicultural recruitment, which talks about the weekends.
