Each fall, the Merge Campus Visit Program provides an opportunity for students with various experiences and goals, and who come from many educational, socio-cultural, geographic, and familial backgrounds to explore and consider Grainger Engineering graduate programs. The Merge Campus Visit Program supports prospective students through pre-application seminars, program-specific connections, and campus visits.

The live virtual event is scheduled for September 18, 2026, 2:00 - 5:00 PM CDT.

All Merge Program participants are eligible for an application fee waiver when applying to a Grainger Engineering graduate program.

Merge Program participants who enroll in a Grainger Engineering graduate program will be eligible for $700 of professional development funds unless they participated in the sponsored Merge Campus Visit in 2026.
