Eastern Mennonite University (EMU) is inviting students to discover the educational opportunities available in Virginia.<\/p>\n

The university is among 24 schools participating in the 20th annual Virginia Private College Week, July 25-July 30, 2016, sponsored by the\u00a0Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia (CICV)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Students who visit EMU can apply for free.<\/p>\n

Students who visit at least three institutions during the week will receive three application fee waivers. Students may use these waivers to apply to any three participating CICV colleges for free. In addition, students visiting at least three institutions will also be eligible for a $500 Amazon gift card.<\/p>\n

EMU will offer daily campus tours and information sessions about admissions, financial aid and academic programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cVirginia Private College Week is a great opportunity that provides prospective students and their families the chance to easily visit multiple schools over a few days and get a head start on the college search process,\u201d says Matt Ruth, director of undergraduate admissions. \u201cWe\u2019re very excited to welcome students from throughout Virginia for these special sessions.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday-Friday (July 25\u00a0\u2013 July 29), there will be a morning (9 a.m.) and afternoon (2 p.m.) session. On Saturday, July 30, there will be a morning (9 a.m.) session only. Each session includes information on academic programs, financial aid opportunities and the admissions process.<\/p>\n

\u201cVisiting campuses in person is one of the most important steps in the college search process,\u201d said Robert Lambeth, president of the CICV.<\/p>\n

CICV was founded in 1971 to promote the interests of nonprofit, independent higher education in Virginia. The Council was also instrumental in starting the state\u2019s TAG program.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
