One of the best ways of making the transition to college life is through participation in one of the many Pre-Orientation Programs that Skidmore offers first-year students. Whether its hiking in the Adirondacks, creating sculpture or doing community service, there are many ways to meet students with similar interests and goals. Participation in Pre-O is optional, and takes place just before Orientation for all first-year students.

A limited number of scholarships are available for high-need students on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning in mid-April. Students may receive 50% to 100% off the program fee. If you would like to apply for a pre-orientation program scholarship, simply send your request as an email message to Mary Ann Toia, mtoia@skidmore.edu with the subject being Pre-O Scholarship request. Please include your student's name and program request with a phone number and email address. You will be notified of your scholarship award by the end of May.

For any other questions or concerns please contact Mary Ann Toia in the Office of Campus Life at (518) 580-8335.

IF YOU ARE PUT ON A WAITLIST: please email mtoia@skidmore.edu with Waitlist in the subject line and your name and program choice in the body of the email. Thank you.
