This fall, the College of Engineering at The Ohio State University will be hosting our Graduate Engineering Open House aimed at bringing underrepresented groups to our Columbus, Ohio campus and showing them the opportunities in engineering research and scholarship.  We would LOVE if you would pass along the attached email invitation to any of your undergraduates who might be interested.

The event will take place October 13-14, 2017.  We have TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIPS we can award to students to help them cover their expenses for flights, mileage, and/or hotel stay.  This is a GREAT opportunity for your students to come and check out a highly ranked, Research 1 institution and learn all about the graduate school process!!

The earlier students apply, the more likely they’ll get travel funds!

The University of Florida’s Graduate School cordially invites prospective graduate students to apply for our Fall 2017 Campus Visitation Program (CVP) which will be held November 2-3, 2017.

During their trip to the campus, successful underrepresented minority applicants will have the opportunity to:

• Meet with faculty and staff from their prospective academic programs
• Receive information on admissions, financial aid, and housing
• Interact with current UF graduate students and student organizations

The University of Florida will provide lodging for two nights, most meals, and up to $500 in airfare or mileage. We will also reimburse the UF Graduate School Application fee, if accepted into the Campus Visitation Program.
