Visit Belhaven
Campus Visit Scholarship
Visiting a college campus is the single, most important thing you should do in the college selection process. Facts, figures, and pictures are helpful, but until you step onto our campus, you won't experience what truly sets us apart: the Belhaven community. Faculty, staff, and students love to meet our future students, and they are eager to share what God is doing on our campus. And we are so confident that you will love what we have to offer that we want to thank you for visiting by offering you a $4,000 scholarship ($1,000 each year you are enrolled) upon completion of your campus visit. In order to qualify for the visit scholarship one must visit prior to August 1 of the year in which you enroll.
There are several ways you can visit our campus:
- Personal Campus Visit - Monday – Friday
- Discover Days - A larger visit day for High School students and transfers (50-80 students & parents).
- Junior Day - A larger visit day for High School juniors only (50-80 students & parents).
- Arts Discover Day - A visit day those interested in Visual Arts, Dance, Music, Theatre or Creative Writing. This day is open to High School students and transfers (70-120 students & parents).
Whichever way you decide to visit our campus, it can be personalized. We want to know what you are interested in: Arts? Athletics? Honors College? Let us know what you value, and we will be sure to tailor your campus visit accordingly. You will have the opportunity to explore the campus with a current Belhaven student, meet your personal admission counselor, meet with a professor or coach, and perhaps taste our dining commons fare.
Please contact us at admission@belhaven.edu or call 1-800-960-5940 if you have any questions.
