Denison’s fully-funded fly-in program is designed for students interested in learning more about a Denison education and that would benefit from a no-loan financial aid package.

Program dates: Oct. 26-27, 2025

Application deadline: Sept. 12, 2025

Start your application

Dialogue with Denison is a fully-funded, immersive experience designed for rising high school seniors of all backgrounds to learn more about the Denison community and academic experience. Students admitted to this program will explore campus life through a series of interactive sessions, equipping you with a strong understanding of our academic and co-curricular approach. At Denison, we believe education should both challenge and support students in equal measure. Dialogue with Denison (DWD) brings that belief to life through a program that is centered on connection, exploration, and possibility. We look forward to preparing the next generation of world leaders for the ever changing and complex problems they will look to solve.

Students who are selected to attend DWD and apply through either of our binding Early Decision rounds will receive a no-loan financial aid package upon admission to Denison University. While Denison meets the full demonstrated need for all admitted students, DWD participants who are admitted through Early Decision will receive a financial aid award package that also replaces any federal loans with Denison grants, so they may graduate with little to no college debt.

In order to be considered for DWD, students must submit a completed Dialogue with Denison application by Sept. 12, 2025. For more information, please review the tentative schedule.
