High school students and their families can get an early start on their college search with the University of Mary Washington’s summer visits.
Located just one hour south of Washington, D.C., UMW is a small-sized university that offers big opportunities, with state-of-the-art labs for research, studios and performance spaces for the arts, a dynamic business program and innovative teaching environments. UMW connects students with transformative experiences, including internships, research projects, community service opportunities and study abroad programs, plus more than 150 student organizations and NCAA Division III Athletics.
The campus boasts a warm and welcoming community on 234 acres in the heart of Fredericksburg, Virginia, which bustles with history, the arts and plenty of options for foodies and coffee fanatics.
Scheduling a campus tour – especially during summer – lets families experience firsthand what sets Mary Washington apart, and the process couldn’t be easier.

Interested prospective students and their families can choose preferred dates on the “Visit UMW” webpage.
Virtual Options and Scholarships
UMW offers virtual interviews to get high school seniors started on their applications and give them the opportunity to showcase who they are and what matters to them. Plus, those who complete an application and interview between July 1 and Feb. 1 are automatically considered for the “Taking Flight” scholarship, which awards between $1,000 and $2,000.
Early applicants who interview in July will get a head start before the August 1 application open date. In-person interviews are also available during fall Open House events.
“Throughout your time at Mary Wash, we’ll get to know you as a person through small classes, student activities, athletics and community endeavors. This interview is the first chance to tell us who you are and what you care about in your own words, and it creates a context and conversation around your application,” Dean of Admissions and Associate Vice President Melissa Yakabouski said. “For our future Eagles, it’s the perfect way to take flight into your college experience.”
Summer visits at UMW continue through Aug. 25, before the regular fall schedule resumes. For more information or to start an application, email admit@umw.edu or call 540-654-2000. Learn more at umw.edu/apply.
