The late Frank E. Tillery established two Mary Washington scholarships which help support five students each year - the Elizabeth P. Tillery Memorial Scholarship in Music and the Franklin E. Tillery Scholarship.
Scholarships
A scholarship is one of the greatest gifts a student, and therefore the University, can receive.
The University of Mary Washington is committed to providing a quality liberal arts education to students of promise at a cost that is within their reach. Scholarships make this goal possible by supporting both academically gifted students of merit and those students with demonstrated financial need.
The University of Mary Washington Foundation oversees the establishment and investment of all scholarship funds. The Office of Financial Aid coordinates the application and selection process for scholarship recipients.
Currently, UMW has available nearly 200 endowed scholarships and awards, including six full-ride Washington Scholarships.
You have an opportunity to make a significant difference. Consider establishing a scholarship to personalize your commitment to Mary Washington and to provide support to deserving students.
