Home at Hamilton Application

Program Details:

Sunday, October 6, 2024 - Monday, October 7, 2024

The Home at Hamilton program is an opportunity for high school seniors from traditionally under-represented backgrounds to visit campus and experience life on College Hill. While all are welcome to apply, our selection process will prioritize the applications of students who have not already visited campus and are first-generation college students or from families with limited financial resources. This program is competitive and we encourage you to apply by September 3, 2024.

If you have any questions about Home at Hamilton, please email Kaitlin Oliver at koliver@hamilton.edu.
