Save money on your campus visit

We're so convinced you'll choose Northwestern after visiting campus that we'll help pay for your trip!


Airfare

We'll reimburse up to $300 of your airfare costs for a flight into Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Sioux City, Iowa; or Omaha, Nebraska (airport transportation not provided from Omaha)—or up to $450 if you are accompanied by a parent. The reimbursement must be requested within one month after your campus visit is completed and is subject to the following restrictions:

  1. Reimbursement is payable only when you are accepted for admission.

  2. If your trip includes visits to other colleges, Northwestern will reimburse you for half of your ticket cost, up to $150 for a student alone or up to $225 for a student and parent combined.

  3. Only high school juniors, seniors and transfer students are eligible for the one-time flight reimbursement. Additional visits will be made at the student’s own expense.

Note: Northwestern will provide transportation to and from airports in Sioux City, Iowa (45 minutes from Orange City), and Sioux Falls, South Dakota (1.5 hours from Orange City). Visitors flying into other airports should arrange their own transportation to campus. (If your trip includes a visit to another college, we’ll provide transportation at least to or from the airport, but not necessarily both.)

For airport transportation, visitors should select flights that do not depart earlier than 8 a.m. or arrive after 10 p.m.


Mileage

If you are driving to campus from over 200 miles away, we'll reimburse you 25¢ per mile up to $200. The reimbursement must be requested within one month of your visit and is subject to the following restrictions:

  1. Reimbursement is payable only when you are accepted for admission.

  2. If your trip includes visits to other colleges, Northwestern will reimburse you for one leg of your trip.

  3. Only high school juniors, seniors and transfer students are eligible for the one-time mileage reimbursement. Additional visits will be made at the student’s own expense.


Meals

As always, lunch in the cafeteria for you and your parents is on us during your campus visit.
