2	Amherst College	Access to Amherst (A2A) - formerly called Diversity Open House (DIVOH)	As part of Amherst College's commitment to diversity, the Office of Admission will be hosting Access to Amherst (A2A) - formerly called Diversity Open House (DIVOH) - in the fall to introduce prospective applicants to Amherst's campus, student body, faculty, and classes. A2A is available to all prospective students, but the selection committee prioritizes the invitation of students from traditionally underrepresented groups, such as African-American, Hispanic/Latinx American, Native American, and Asian-American backgrounds, as well as first-generation students. To support socioeconomic diversity, the selection committee will also prioritize students from families with limited financial resources, regardless of cultural or racial background. Those are priorities for participation, but are not meant to imply any exclusivity regarding the program or selection process. Should you have an interest in attending, we encourage you to apply no matter your demographic or economic background.	In-Person	https://www.amherst.edu/admission/diversity/a2a

5	Bard College	Fly-In Program	Bard’s “Fly-In” Program aims to support high school juniors and seniors within the New York metro area who are unable to visit Bard College’s Annandale-on-Hudson, NY campus due to financial constraints. While students must be able to get to Moynihan Train Hall near Penn Station on their own, this program will provide meal accommodations, a train ticket, and other accommodations that may be required to visit Bard’s campus. Within the Counselor's Nomination Form, there is detailed information that will assist you in learning more about your students’ eligibility for these programs. Counselors are able to nominate up to three students for Bard's "Fly-in" Program. The offices of Admission and Equity and Inclusion will follow up with all nominated students. There are three qualifications a student must meet for admission into HEOP: - A student must be a resident of New York State. - A student is eligible if he or she is not admissible under Bard's regular admission guidelines due to an under-resourced academic background. This standard changes each year as Bard adapts to the national standards of each year's high school graduating class. - A student is eligible if he or she meets the financial criteria for economic disadvantage set by the New York State Education Department (NYSED).
