Saturday, November 4 – Monday, November 6, 2023
The Perspectives Overnight Program is for high school seniors who reside outside Connecticut, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island, who may be from families with limited financial resources, attending rural and urban Title I schools, and those who are unable to visit campus on their own. Students who will be the first in their family to attend college are also welcome to apply. If you have an interest in visiting Holy Cross, we encourage you to apply regardless of your demographic or economic background.
Through the Perspectives program, we aim to provide space for students to explore topics regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Once on campus, students will connect with current Holy Cross students to ask honest questions and gain valuable insight into the admission process and campus community here at the College of the Holy Cross.
Students must attend with one parent, guardian, or community mentor (i.e., college counselor). Overnight attendees will be staying in a local hotel, and transportation will be provided to and from campus. Travel grants are available upon request in the application form. Travel grants will cover student and guest transportation (flight, bus, airport shuttle, etc.) and hotel accommodations.
