FirstGen Presidential Fellows Fly-In Program

April 10 - April 11, 2026

Before making your decision, you are invited to join other Admitted Students for an overnight at Bentley! Arrive to campus Friday afternoon and attend dinner either at our Celebrating Women Scholars Dinner Friday night or dinner with admissions staff and guests at the Westin Hotel.  On Saturday, you'll meet current students, faculty, and future classmates at a day designed just for you. Events include presentations, a majors fair with faculty, campus tours, student activities panel, a student life carnival bash on the greenspace and a first-generation dessert reception. We look forward to celebrating your acceptance with you!

Please note this event is invite-only and is open solely to FirstGen Presidential Fellow recipients who have not previously visited campus.
