Simmons Scholar Overnight Program

<p>My daughter got accepted into Simmons College and got offered the Presidents Scholarship. She also got invited to a special Scholar Overnight Program. They are paying for her full flight and $200 of my flight to fly out there. We will take a trolley tour of Boston and have a semi formal dinner with the Dean. She gets to spend the night in the dorm too and attend a Presidents reception the next day. My daughter would be swimming there too if she decides to go there. We think this is a very generous and exciting experience. Is there anyone else out there attending this? We have never been to Boston and are very excited!</p>

<p>My daughter got invited to that also, but she would be playing soccer if she goes there so she is attending an athlethe overnight in March. We live in New England so spend a lot of time in Boston. A great college city!</p>

<p>Congrats to your daughter, KKsoccer11! Is the athlete overnight only for soccer or is it for all sports? My other daughter who is 14 also plays soccer so who knows maybe someday she will go there too. We live in CA so we are traveling far!</p>

<p>I am not fully committed yet, but if I attend Simmons I will be looking into swimming as well! I am also from the New England area.</p>

<p>Hello all! I’m currently a sophomore here at Simmons and am offering myself as a resource for any prospective students/parents who have questions about the college! Feel free to contact me via College Confidential.</p>

<p>My daughter was also accepted. We received a similar offer. But were told that we needed to pay for the plane ticket and would be reimbursed in July. Were you given the same information? Other schools have invited us to visit but paid upfront.</p>
