Voices of Tufts, sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, is a visit program designed to introduce high school seniors to the way students create a sense of belonging and community at Tufts University. Through conversations with current students, sessions focused on the college application process and transition, and opportunities to learn more about Tufts, Voices aims to inform and empower students as they navigate the college search process.
Voices of Tufts is a selective program. To be considered for Voices, please complete the online application. Applications are due by July 27, 2026 at 11:59 PM local time.
In Fall 2026, we will offer two Voices of Tufts programs:
Virtual Voices of Tufts
|
Voices of Tufts: A Day on the Hill
|
|
Virtual Voices of Tufts is an active, engaging, joyful opportunity to get to know Tufts University. Through a one-day online program, participants will learn more about Tufts from current students, connect with representatives from the Division of Student Diversity and Inclusion and University Chaplaincy, and receive practical insights into the college admissions process. Virtual Voices of Tufts participants who are admitted to Tufts University and demonstrate financial need will be eligible for up to $500 in travel reimbursement toward visiting Tufts during April 2027. Additionally, all Virtual Voices of Tufts applicants will be invited to an exclusive panel of current Tufts students in August 2026. |
Voices of Tufts: A Day on the Hill is a dynamic, one-day program on the Medford campus that brings the college search process to life for prospective students. Participants will receive practical insights into the college admissions and financial process, get to know the Tufts University campus, connect with current students, and discover how Tufts supports students throughout their transition to college. Participants will arrive on campus in the morning and depart in the late afternoon. Students within 150 miles of Tufts University's Medford campus will be prioritized. Please note: this is a one-day program and overnight accommodations are not available. Reimbursement for travel expenses may be offered to participants in the program. Applicants should indicate their request for travel reimbursement when completing the Voices application. |
Any rising senior who attends high school in the US is eligible to apply to the Voices of Tufts program. While Voices has traditionally attracted participants with strong academic records from a variety of backgrounds — including but not limited to first-generation college-bound students, LGBTQIA+ students, students from low-income backgrounds, students with disabilities, and students from rural communities — any student interested in learning more about the Tufts community is encouraged to apply. Most importantly, we seek to invite high-achieving students who are kind, collaborative, civically-engaged, and interested in creating a more inclusive world.
There is no cost to participate in Voices. All program participants and applicants will have the application fee waived if they choose to apply to Tufts for first-year admission.
