Visiting campuses in person is one of the most important steps in the college search process. Rising high school juniors and seniors interested in attending Virginia Wesleyan University are invited to participate in Virginia Private College Week from July 22-27, hosted by the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia (CICV).

Prospective traditional and transfer students will receive a VWU Visit Grant applicable to tuition (spring 2020 or later) with a value of $1,000 upon enrollment at Virginia Wesleyan. Guests will also be entered to win a $250 Amazon gift card, and CICV will award another $250 Amazon gift card to a student who posts on social media using the hashtag #VaPrivateCollegeWeek. 

Virginia Wesleyan, along with 22 other member institutions, will offer campus tours and information sessions about admission, financial aid, and academic programs. Enrollment counselors will also address common myths about the cost of a private college education.

VWU offers private school quality with public school affordability. With an average institutional award of just under $20,000 and a total average financial aid package of approximately $33,000, Virginia Wesleyan’s generous grant and merit award programs—along with federal and state aid—mean that you don’t have to compromise.

Come see why VWU has been chosen as one of the nation’s best by The Princeton Review and featured in its guide, The Best 383 Colleges: 2019 Edition.

Information sessions at Virginia Wesleyan will be held July 22-26 (Monday-Friday) at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. and on Saturday, July 27 at 9 a.m. Register online or call 757.455.3208 to schedule your tour today.
