We hope you are having a great spring! We are thrilled that our annual Explore Bowdoin fly-in programs will be returning to in-person programming this fall.
Explore Bowdoin is an all-expenses paid college visit program for low-income and/or first-generation high school seniors.
We hope you will share Explore Bowdoin with students who might be a good match. We value your insights and appreciate your help in suggesting students to Bowdoin.
