Mount Holyoke, Smith, and Amherst Colleges will be on campus on Tuesday, November 6, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the MWCC Board Room.
Mt. Holyoke and Smith are all-women’s colleges, and they each have a successful program in place for female students 24 years of age and over who demonstrate exceptional academic ability. Several of MWCC qualifying students have transferred to Mt. Holyoke College and have received services and support from the Frances Perkins Program. Likewise, students have transferred to Smith College and have been able to take advantage of the Ada Comstock Program specially designed for this population.
This is the first time an Amherst College admissions representative will be joining Mt. Holyoke and Smith in this annual event. Amherst is recruiting male and female traditional-aged disadvantaged students (different races, classes, and ethnic groups) of intellectual promise who have demonstrated qualities of mind and character (minimum GPA of 3.2). All applicants to Amherst College must be capable of enrolling as full-time students while at Amherst.
All three colleges are in a position to offer generous financial aid packages to MWCC students who are accepted into their programs. Pre-registration is required for students wishing to attend the information session. Call Dawn Fontaine in the Advising & Counseling Center at 978.630.9568 to reserve a spot. (Visions students can contact Tammy Tebo, room 143, at 978.630.9316).
