LWC to Participate in 2010 Kentucky Private College Week

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College will be among 20 private colleges and universities who will participate in the seventh-annual Kentucky Private College Week.

This year's Kentucky Private College Week will be June 14-18. 

Kentucky Private College Week is a coordinated effort by the members of the Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities (AIKCU). The event is designed to simplify the college visit process for students and families and expose prospective students to Kentucky's nonprofit, private four-year colleges and universities.

A single point of registration at www.kentuckyprivatecolleges.org and common visit times at all 20 campuses -- 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. (local time) daily -- makes it easy for prospective students to plan these summer campus visits. Each visit consists of a campus tour and information session covering admissions, financial aid, and other topics.

"Summer is a great time to hit the road and visit college campuses," said Mason Dyer of the Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities. "This is a really fun, easy way to get a jump on the college admissions process and learn what a great educational value Kentucky's private colleges and universities offer."

Families will learn about the various sources of financial aid available to private college students that help make a small college education affordable. Almost all students attending Kentucky's independent colleges and universities receive some financial aid.

Kentucky Private College Week can also help students save money. In addition to reducing travel costs by making it easy to combine multiple visits into single trips, each visitor receives an application fee waiver (up to a $40 value) for every campus they visit during Private College Week.
