University of Penn Early Exploration Program

This fall, Penn will revive and enhance their fly-in program with a new focus on serving students who are a part of our partner community based organizations in addition to historically underrepresented students attending school in the United States. Penn Admissions will fully sponsor students accepted to this program, which includes all costs associated with food, housing, and transportation.

The program runs from October 12 - October 14, 2014 and allows students to gain a first-hand experience with the academic and social atmosphere at Penn as they continue to hone their college lists. The three goals for this program are:

•  To allow students to explore the interdisciplinary academic paths at Penn 
•  To help students strengthen their applications to highly selective institutions 
•  To inform students about Penn's no-loan, all grant financial aid program

Given Penn's firm commitment to enrolling a talented and diverse class, they are specifically seeking seniors who are from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and/or historically underrepresented groups, including Africa-American, Latino, Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian. The ideal candidates would be those who are academically high achieving, have demonstrated leadership, and are interested in either studying the liberal arts, business, engineering, and/or nursing.
