Hey everyone! UVA has a new program intended to fly-in low-income and/or first-generation prospective high school students to UVA. The organization’s goal is to make students that attend the weekend fly-in program more competitive applicants in the admissions process and show them that getting into a great, public university is attainable. The program is an all expense paid three-day, two-night retreat to show 20 low-income rising juniors in high school around Grounds and the lifestyle of UVA students.
The program will take place from October 12th-14th this Fall, 2018. To apply, students need to fill out an application by August 17, 2018 at 11:59PM EST with the priority deadline of June 15, 2018 at 11:59PM EST. Students should apply as soon as possible to increase their chances of admittance. The website for more information, which also has the link to the application, is: hoosfirstlook.■■■■■■■■■■.
