Apply to a fly-in program. Colleges accept applications from any student who wants to learn more about them. My d applied to fly-ins for a few selective colleges, was rejected, but received a fee waiver instead. We joked they were common app coupons. Seriously, if your kid is a halfway decent writer who can crank out a quick essay, it’s an easy way to save a few bucks.

2022 Fly-In Programs

Fly-in programs are all-expenses paid college visits that are usually held in the fall. They are a great way for students to learn more about a college while temporarily immersing themselves in campus life. Although anyone can apply, preference is usually given to applicants from lower income backgrounds, students who will be the first in their families to attend college, and/or who come from diverse backgrounds or rural areas. Application deadlines vary and some programs are only offered virtually this year. Check specific programs of interest for more information.
