Hollins University is among 24 colleges and universities across the commonwealth that will be highlighting the quality and affordability of private higher education during Virginia Private College Week (VPCW), July 23 – 28. The event is sponsored by the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia (CICV).
Hollins will offer campus tours and information sessions about admissions, financial aid, and academic programs, and will also address some common myths about the cost of a private college education. “Visiting campuses in person is one of the most important steps in the college search process,” said CICV President Robert Lambeth. “I encourage parents to explore which college will be the best fit for their son or daughter, and I want to assure them that a quality education at a Virginia private college is affordable and within reach.”
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 drawing for a $500 Amazon gift card.
Sessions at Hollins and most other participating colleges will begin at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., Monday through Friday, and at 9 a.m. on Saturday. To sign up for a session at Hollins, go to our VPCW registration page. For more information about CICV and VPCW, visit the Virginia Private Colleges website.
