Fly-in Airfare Assist program
Now it's easier to fly in for a visit!
If you want to visit, we want to help.
Our new Fly-in Airfare Assist program helps student visitors from beyond a reasonable driving distance. Non-Midwest students who have applied for undergraduate admission are eligible for a one-time reimbursement — up to $300 — for the cost of air travel to our Winona Campus.

Tetimonial
“Being able to visit the campus only solidified my decision to move far away from home. The feeling that you get when you can physically walk around on campus is drastically more helpful than doing all the research in the world on a college out of state. I cannot recommend campus visitation enough to those who are considering out of state colleges.”
