Discover Chatham: Fall Open Houses & Saturday Visit Days

Attending a weekend event at Chatham University - from Saturday Visit Day to our Fall Open Houses - is one of the best ways to start exploring Chatham. You'll take a tour of our iconic Shadyside Campus, a certified arboretum in the city with current students, hear with partners across our Academic Success Center and Student Life, and connect with your admission counselor. At our events, we ensure you leave with the important information you need surrounding admission, scholarships and financial aid, student life on campus and in Pittsburgh, as well as internship placement, graduate, and career outcomes.

Academic Scholarship Interview Days

At Chatham, we’re proud of the financial aid we’re able to offer to students, and scholarship interview days are an important part of making that happen. In addition to the interview (which will take place with faculty in your academic area of interest) you’ll get to have a one-on-one meeting with a financial aid counselor to help answer your questions about Chatham’s affordability, applying for FAFSA, and other college financing questions.
