Fly-In Programs
What is a fly-in program?
College fly-in programs are all-expenses-paid trips that give high school studentsāespecially those from underrepresented or low-income backgroundsāa chance to visit colleges they might not otherwise get to see.
Youāll stay on campus, meet current students and professors, attend classes, and get a real feel for college lifeāall for free. Itās like a sneak peek at your future, designed to help you find the right fit and make your college dreams real.
If youāve ever thought, āIād love to see that school, but itās too far or too expensive,ā a fly-in program might be your ticket.
Thatās it for our first edition! Please provide us with feedback for improvements! Make sure to share Momentumās resources with others!
