Fly-In Programs
Learn more about Bryn Mawr and get our tips on applying to college through a fly-in program.
We know that a campus visit can be an important factor for students navigating the college search process, but we also recognize that the cost of visiting colleges can be a barrier for many students. Our fly-in programs are designed to support high school students who come from historically underrepresented backgrounds. Compelling candidates have demonstrated interest in women’s education and will exhibit the core characteristics of a Bryn Mawr student—a driven and passionate learner; one who is inspired by and celebrates differences; and one who seeks to transform themselves, their community, and the world.
