Pitzer College
Claremont, CA
Diversity Program
In encouraging minority students to visit, apply, and enroll at the college, Pitzer invites approximately 50 high school seniors from these backgrounds for a three-day paid visit during the fall and spring semesters. The fall program is for prospective applicants and the spring program is for admitted students. During each program, students stay with an overnight host in a residence hall, attend classes and meet members of the Pitzer community, admission and financial aid staff. The fall program helps prospective applicants learn about the selection process and how to apply for financial aid. In the spring, an emphasis is placed on learning more about student life. During both programs, participants may also interview with an admissions officer or representative.

Illinois Promise
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is committed to providing access to quality education for high achieving students from all backgrounds.

To be considered for the Illinois Promise, students must submit the FAFSA by March 15 prior to each academic year. There is no separate Illinois Promise application form. Once the FAFSA information is received at the university, additional documents will be requested and required to confirm the eligibility criteria.
