Liberty University to participate in Virginia Private College Week 2024

This month, prospective college students and families from all over the Commonwealth are invited to tour Liberty University’s campus and attend information sessions on admissions, financial aid, academic programs, and extracurricular activities during Virginia Private College Week, July 15-20.

The week is hosted by the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia (CICV) and open to all Virginia residents and neighboring state residents who are rising high school juniors and seniors or prospective transfer students. They will also be eligible for a drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card.

Tours will be held at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. on Saturday and will begin at the Hancock Welcome Center. Families will also have a chance to attend a special scholarship session following the tour.

This marks the 16th year Liberty has participated in Virginia Private College Week, which is aimed at addressing common myths about private college education and emphasizes the quality of instruction at private institutions.

“Selecting the right college is one of the hardest decisions a family can make,” said Ed Parker, director of the Hancock Welcome Center. “These tours give them a chance to learn about the over 350 residential degree offerings at Liberty and to explore every area of college life, from our housing and award-winning dining to our exciting student life activities. It’s a great opportunity for prospective students to discover what Liberty University has to offer them right in their home state.”

Liberty has special events for visitors throughout the year, including ExperienceLU, where prospective students and their families explore life at Liberty through exciting tours of its growing campus and meetings with faculty as well as admissions and Student Financial Services staff. College For A Weekend (CFAW), held twice a semester, provides high school juniors, seniors, and transfer students the opportunity to experience life as a college student at Liberty. Upcoming CFAW dates are Sept. 19-21 and Nov. 7-9. (High school sophomores are eligible to attend CFAW during the spring semester.)
