** (D) Bowdoin College
Explore Bowdoin (http://www.bowdoin.edu/
The Explore Bowdoin program offers high-achieving students from diverse backgrounds, who might otherwise be unable to visit, the opportunity to spend three days on Bowdoin’s campus. Because we understand that traveling may pose a significant financial burden for many families, the College covers the entire cost of the trip, including all transportation (by plane, Amtrak, or bus) and meals. Please note that preference is given to applicants who demonstrate financial need. Students spend Thursday to Sunday on the Bowdoin College campus. Students will arrive on Bowdoin’s campus throughout the day on Thursday (travel day) and depart very early on Sunday. The program provides an excellent opportunity to visit the College, meet our students and faculty, sample our wonderful food, and learn more about life at Bowdoin. While on campus, you will experience many of the academic opportunities and social activities that Bowdoin students enjoy. Participants stay with current students in campus housing, attend classes, receive personal admissions interviews, and attend information sessions on admissions and financial aid. You will see that academic excellence, leadership, creativity, and character are hallmarks of a Bowdoin education.
Students may choose from one of the program dates. The program dates for 2015 are: September 17-20, 2015 and October 22-25, 2015
