Minnesota Private College Week
June 23-27, 2008
Seventeen private colleges and universities throughout Minnesota will join together and sponsor the Annual Minnesota Private College Week, a series of free campus open houses and information sessions for high school students and their families.
The week long event features two sessions each day at 9:30-11:45 a.m.and 2-4:15 p.m. Plan to arrive at least fifteen minutes early to register for each campus. Participating colleges and universities will offer free guided campus tours and information sessions on admissions and financial aid.
Participants will receive a free passport to be stamped at each college they visit. Pick up your passport at the first school you visit. Keep the passport with you all week and collect a stamp (or two) at each campus you visit. Students who visit four or more colleges during this week can redeem their passport for four application fee waivers to use at any of the participating colleges and universities. That's right...apply to four schools schools for FREE!
Because the College of St. Scholastica, Concordia College and St. Mary's University of Minnesota are a longer distance away from other campuses you might want to visit, those schools count for two stamps.
You must attend a full morning or afternoon session to have your passport stamped.
Passports with fewer than four stamps cannot be redeemed for fee waivers.
To redeem your passport and obtain your four application fee waviers, mail you passports to:
Minnesota's Private Colleges
