Thinking about an out-of-state college?

Choosing where to attend for college is like finding a home for four years. These colleges offer overnight, weekend programs so prospective students can get up close and personal to the students and faculty that make up the college. Almost all of the opportunities listed here are expense-paid, while travel assistance can be requested for all others. We highly recommend that you visit your dream school (if it is listed here), as well as at least one safety so you know that you’ll be happy wherever you end up!

These are usually free or have a scholarship for travel if needed if it is not evident on the application (student needs to call and inquire).  Some of these are based on being a student of color/female depending on programming, and some take it into consideration, but don't require. 

Most of the dates are for 2016, but it'll give you an idea of what's available.
