EMU is inviting Virginia resident students to discover the delectable menu of educational opportunities available right in their own back yard.<\/p>\n

\"Virginia
\nHigh school students who visit four Virginia private colleges Aug. 1-6 will receive application fee waivers redeemable at any three participating private colleges.<\/div>\n

EMU is among 24 schools participating in the ninth annual Virginia Private College Week<\/a>, Aug. 1-6, sponsored by the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia<\/a> (CICV).<\/p>\n

High school students who visit four Virginia private colleges during that week will receive application fee waivers redeemable at any three private colleges in CICV. With application fees ranging from $15 to $50, students could save as much as $100.<\/p>\n

Last year, CICV colleges reported almost 2,000 visits during Virginia Private College Week, with students and families visiting from 33 states and the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n

“Families will be impressed with the diversity, quality and affordability of our colleges,” said Robert Lambeth, president of the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia (CICV). “Students at private colleges benefit from a supportive campus environment where classes are small, professors are accessible, and students are encouraged to become involved in extra-curricular activities.”<\/p>\n

A private college education is more affordable than many families think, Lambeth stated. Last year, private colleges gave students more than $200 million in scholarships and grants. In addition, all full-time students from Virginia attending a Virginia private college are eligible to receive a $2,500 state grant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
