Minerva’s outreach efforts must be different from those of other higher education institutions because we are not looking for just any student. Finding the one or two who might exist in any given school, or in any given city for that matter, is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. Yet, Minerva’s outreach efforts have been successful at reaching candidates in over 160 countries, who then take the time to apply for admission. In this chapter, we summarize how Minerva has been able to reach such a selective, yet geographically dispersed audience.
