Financial Aid
The University of Mary Washington provides scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time campus employment to students who qualify.

All students with complete financial aid applications should receive information about financial assistance by mid-April.
UMW Foundation scholarships are awarded in June and require the Scholarship Information Form (SIF). The SIF is available at the Office of Financial Aid and on myUMW (in mid-May) to students who accept the offer of admission. Instructions and forms are available and are year-specific. For more information, call the Office of Financial Aid at (540) 654-2468.

Change in Housing Status
Changes in residential status are granted in extremely unusual circumstances only. Should it become necessary for you to request a change in status from residential to commuting, or vice versa, your written request must be submitted to the associate dean in the Office of Admissions. The Admissions Committee will consider such requests, and a written decision will be sent to the student. Any student who is granted a change from residential to commuting status after May 1 will forfeit the $500 deposit and must then make an additional deposit of $250 to enroll as a commuting student.
