LIST YOUR EVENT ON THE CONSORTIUM SUMMER EVENT CALENDAR

The Consortium for College Opportunity is creating a CBO Summer Engagement Calendar so that admissions representatives can learn about opportunities to engage with CBO staff, students, and stakeholders. Examples of engagement opportunities include: college fairs, workshops, summer programs, professional development events, and parent events. We invite CBO staff and educators to complete this CBO Engagement Survey by May 1 so that your events can be shared with admission staff at Consortium colleges.

DARTMOUTH FLY-IN PROGRAMS

Dartmouth College offers two fully-funded (travel, housing, meals covered) fly-in opportunities for students to experience Dartmouth and learn more about the college admissions and financial aid processes. Apply here!

Dartmouth Bound (July 20-23 or Aug. 3-6) is geared toward high-achieving rising seniors from first-generation and low-income backgrounds, offering a visit to campus along with admissions and financial aid workshops.

Deadline: May 19

The Indigenous Fly-In Program (Oct.12-15) offers students who identify with or have a strong interest in Native communities and Indigenous Studies an opportunity to engage with Dartmouth’s Native American and Indigenous Studies community, explore campus resources, and connect with current students. Deadline: July 21

CONGRATULATIONS

TO THE CLASS OF 2025

As students approach the deadline for deciding where they will enroll, here are some resources that can help with the decision making process. For those planning in-person visits, Campus Visits: What to Know Before You Go from the College Board and Tips for a Campus Visit You'll Actually Remember from Tufts University can help students make the most of their time on campus. For navigating the financial side of things, uAspire’s tool to Compare Financial Aid Packages is a great way to break down and evaluate offers. As always, we recommend encouraging students to attend a class, meet with their admission counselor, or have a meal with a current student to get a true sense of the campus experience.
