You can earn a fully-funded visit to Amherst

Posted on July 15, 2026 by Craig Meister

A fully funded college fly-in program, like the one Amherst offers, is relatively rare. Less than 75 colleges in the US currently offer them. Such a fly-in is an all-expenses-paid campus visit opportunity in which a college covers travel, lodging, meals, and activities for prospective students, and they often exist to help what the college considers to be “underrepresented” or “high-potential” applicants explore the college first-hand and DEMONSTRATE INTEREST.
