This invitation-only event is for first-year students applying to the College for Fall 2025.

This year, we will be offering four in-person weekend options for you to choose from based on your schedule and academic interest. During this immersive experience, you’ll engage with current students and faculty, participate in an evaluative academic session, and see what it means to be a Forester!

Let's talk about this full-tuition scholarship
We will be awarding a total of four full-tuition scholarships during the Forester Scholars Weekends in Spring 2025. Faculty members will evaluate students as part of the academic session. The faculty recommendation and the application for admission will be used to determine scholarship recipients. 

Why you have to be there
All attendees will receive a $12,000 scholarship - $3,000 given annually over four years. 

Want in? All you have to do is apply!
This is an invitation-only event. The selection process is based on academic performance. No additional application is required. To be considered, your completed application must be submitted by January 15. We accept the Common Application or our own Lake Forest Application
