Prospective Fellows may attend one of the two weekends, typically held in the fall and spring semesters. These are important opportunities for us to get to know you and for you to get to know Lyon. For this reason, we have scheduled time for you to visit with current Fellows, campus tours to familiarize you with our campus, and student research presentations to demonstrate the kind of learning community we pursue at Lyon.
Students who qualify with a 27 ACT or 1250 or better on the SAT or scoring an unweighted 3.7 GPA or better are invited to register. In both cases, a student must also meet proficiencies in ENG001 and MTH001 prior to matriculation.
