Shenandoah University to host Virginia Private College Week

shenandoah uWhat makes Virginia private colleges and universities stand out from others across the nation? Prospective college students will find out during Virginia Private College Week 2014, slated for Monday, July 28, through Saturday, Aug. 2.
Shenandoah University will once again welcome hundreds of potential students and their families during the week, giving campus tours and holding information sessions twice each weekday and an information session and tour on Saturday.
Students who visit at least three of the 24 participating member schools of the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia (CICV) will receive three application fee waivers. Students may use the waivers to apply to any three participating CICV colleges for free.
The member schools will host daily programs for rising high school seniors (Class of 2015) and juniors (Class of 2016), and these students will learn about the quality and affordability of private colleges. Private colleges distinguish themselves from many state universities by offering small classes and personal attention from faculty. Most have generous financial aid and scholarship programs.
Virginia Private College Week tours at Shenandoah University begin each day at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the Brandt Student Center. OnSaturday, Aug. 2, only one tour will be given, beginning at 9 a.m. Each tour of main campus includes an information session by the Office of Admissions.
