Visiting Weekend Travel Fund

We know visiting a prospective college or university is an important part of the decision making process. 

For a hosted visit, our travel fund will reimburse first-time visitors who are high school seniors, juniors, or transfer students up to $250 for the cost of a flight into St. Louis.* During your stay, meals, lodging, transportation to and from the airport, and on- and off-campus activities are covered.

Parents are welcome to travel to the College with their student but are responsible for their travel and accommodation expenses. While we do provide a complimentary airport shuttle service on arrival and departure days for parents, many prefer to rent a car at their own expense. Parents are encouraged to secure the same flight(s) as their student.

Questions? Please reach out to the admissions office with questions at 618.374.5181 or by emailing CollegeVisit@principia.edu.

*Approved expenses will be reimbursed after completion of the visit. Flights are booked directly by families but only after your visit is approved. Some restrictions apply (not reimbursed for points).
