$4,000 just for you!
Students who attend an on-campus, in-person visit coordinated through the Office of Admissions will automatically receive a $4,000 ($1,000 annually) Wooster Visit Award upon admission. Find a day that works for you, register for your visit and secure your award.
*Students must be U.S. citizens, first-year applicants, with a high school graduation year of 2024 or younger, and coordinate and complete an in-person visit through the Office of Admissions before December 15 of their senior year. The Wooster Visit Award, once confirmed by the Admissions Office, will be included in the financial aid offer following admission. The award will be honored for visit dates after January 3, 2023.
The Wooster Visit Award is applicable to tuition only, so students who are eligible for and awarded funds that cover full tuition such as the Posse Scholarship, the Great Lakes College Association (GLCA) program, Wooster’s employee tuition remission, or Veteran’s Education Benefits are ineligible.
Daily Campus Tours & Interviews
Wooster offers individual and personalized visit experiences throughout the week and on select Saturdays. All individual visits include a student-led campus tour and the option for a conversation with an admissions representative. Students interested in participating in a Division III sport may request to meet with a coach (subject to availability).
While on campus, you’ll also have the opportunity to have an interview with an admissions staff member. This 30-minute conversation is an opportunity for you to share your interests and experiences which allows our team to best support you through your college search and application process. Interviews are recommended for admission, and are a required step to be eligible for our top merit scholarship, the College Scholar Award.
Attention High School Seniors! We now have overnight visits available.
Fall Open House Days
We invite you and your family to enjoy a fall day with Wooster’s spirited students and staff. All ages of high school students are encouraged to attend. As our guest, you will enjoy a tour of campus, a candid student panel discussion, a chance to observe class, and an optional admissions and financial aid information session.
During your visit, explore APEX, our innovative center combining academic and career planning resources including academic advising, internships, entrepreneurial initiatives, and off-campus study. Find out how over two-thirds of Wooster students receive funding for research and experiential learning opportunities worldwide through the APEX Fellowship program.
For our October and November Open House programs, students will have the opportunity to select from the following workshops:
- Essay Workshop: The essay is one of the most talked about pieces of a college application. This workshop will review why the essay is important, how to choose a topic, and advice on how to make your essay stand out.
