How the Visit Grant works
Attend an official Calvin Admissions-sponsored visit during your junior or senior year in high school. Don’t wait—the offer expires May 1 of your senior year. If you’re a transfer student you must visit within 12 months of starting at Calvin University.
Students who live in the United States must visit on campus. See your options above.
International students and Americans living abroad may either attend one on-campus option above, or attend two virtual events: an International Student Webinar and a one-on-one chat with an International Admissions Counselor.
The Visit Grant is renewable each year you’re an undergraduate student at Calvin, for up to five years. If you attend Calvin for four years, you will receive the $1,000 grant four times.
The Visit Grant stacks onto other financial aid you receive from Calvin.
You must be a degree-seeking, on-campus, undergraduate student to receive the grant. $1,000 per year assumes you are a full-time (12+ credits) student for both semesters. If you are less than full time you will receive a pro-rated amount.
