Hatch a Jay

Etown Community Referral Program

Spread your love for Elizabethtown College, and help us welcome new students into our campus community! If you know of a student who would make a great addition to the Blue Jay community, let us know!

Refer a student to us and the Office of Admissions will reach out and show them Etown’s famous hospitality. There might even be a carrot cake in their future!

Enrolled students are not eligible to refer a prospective student to Hatch a Jay.

The referral application will open in July of 2025.


$1,000 One-Time Scholarship*


*Referred students may potentially qualify for a one-time $1,000 scholarship, subject to a review process, with no guarantee of eligibility.

Will This Student Be a Good Fit?

If you’re not sure if the student you’re thinking of will be a good fit, that’s okay! When you refer someone, you’re helping them explore Etown, so they can get closer to making their college decision. A student may be a good fit if they:

  • Enjoy being involved in extracurricular activities
  • Are looking for a close-knit campus setting
  • Are looking for a college that offers one of our Signature Learning Opportunities, which include:
    • Internship, Practicum or Field Placement

    • Supervised Research

    • Capstone Course, Project or Development Portfolio

    • Cross-Cultural Experience

    • Community-Based Learning
