News Release | July 13, 2016
High school juniors and seniors interested in attending Virginia Wesleyan College are invited to participate in Virginia Private College Week from July 25-30, hosted by the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia (CICV). Along with 23 other participating colleges, VWC will offer campus tours and information sessions about admissions, financial aid and academic programs. Enrollment counselors will also address common myths about the cost of a private college education.
“Visiting campuses in person is one of the most important steps in the college search process,” says Robert Lambeth, President of CICV. “I encourage parents to explore which college will be the best fit for their son or daughter, and I want to reassure them that a quality education at a Virginia private college is affordable and within reach.”
Students who visit Virginia Wesleyan and at least two other institutions during the week will receive three application fee waivers—which may be used to apply to participating CICV colleges for free—and will also be entered to win a $500 Amazon gift card. Information sessions at Virginia Wesleyan will be held July 25-29 (Monday-Friday) at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. and on Saturday, July 30 at 9 a.m. Register for an information session.
