Discover Swarthmore Fly-In Program now accepting nominations

Nominations are now open for Discover Swarthmore. Discover Swarthmore, held each fall, is our all-expenses-paid overnight fly-in program for high-achieving high school seniors. High school counselors, community-based organization advisors, mentors, teachers, and other educators are welcome to nominate current high school juniors. All interested rising high school seniors (U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and undocumented/DACA students attending school in the U.S.) are welcome to apply to Discover Swarthmore, though preference will be given to students from underrepresented groups, students who are the first in their family to attend college, and students from low-income backgrounds who might not otherwise be able to afford a trip to campus.

Don’t forget to file your FAFSA!


The 2022-2023 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) opened on October 1, 2021.  FAFSA is the form that the government and most colleges use to determine your financial aid eligibility and completing the form is a basic for all college-bound students. Although there are different submission deadlines for the FAFSA (federal, state, and school), please be aware that it is important to file early because some states and colleges have limited funds. You can access the FAFSA at
