Two Washington Scholars and four Alvey Scholars will be among the thousand incoming Eagles at the University of Mary Washington this fall 2024. These students have earned full-ride scholarships, which are renewable for four years of undergraduate studies with GPA and residential requirements<\/strong><\/a>. In addition, they are admitted to the Honors Program and have access to funding for experiential learning opportunities such as study abroad and undergraduate research.<\/p>\n

The Washington Scholarship is available for Virginia residents, with priority given to those who apply for admission to UMW by Nov. 15.\u00a0UMW\u2019s Alvey Scholars program recognizes out-of-state students, again with priority for applying by Nov. 15. Several Alvey Scholarships focus on STEM majors, with generous support from\u00a0Irene Piscopo Rodgers \u201959, who funded 12 Alvey Scholarships during her lifetime and through a transformational estate gift<\/strong><\/a>, leaving $30 million to the University of Mary Washington to fund scholars in science, technology, engineering and math\u00a0through scholarships and undergraduate research. Applicants are automatically considered for UMW scholarship opportunities, including these top awards, which are equal to full tuition, fees, room and board.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s scholars demonstrate a deep commitment to research through their academic excellence, as well as leadership experience as captains of athletics teams or community organizations, all while balancing their high school studies with service projects.<\/p>\n

Garrett Driscoll<\/strong> is originally from Burlington, New Jersey. He is a graduate of the South Carolina Governor\u2019s School for Science and Mathematics (GSSM), where he concentrated in macrobiology, with plans to continue that focus by studying conservation biology and environmental science at Mary Washington, with a minor in fine arts. He was a member of the first cohort in hydroponics research at the GSSM Mobile Hydroponics Research Lab. His work focused on the photoperiods of the nepeta cataria and nepeta subsessilis plants.<\/p>\n

Driscoll was the varsity captain of his high school swim team for four years. He was an active member of the Rotary Interact Club and served as the vice president, leading community service projects on behalf of the local humane society. He also tutored students in both mathematics and biology and served as a natural helper, mentoring incoming students and helping them adjust to their new lives at the Governor\u2019s School. He earned the Presidential Academic Award and the AP Scholar Award, and was a member of the National Honor Society and BETA club. He also earned the Ironman Award from his local swim club and the Team Spirit Award from his high school swim team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt that the excellent faculty, small class sizes and the overall feel of campus were a perfect fit and I\u2019m excited to use the Alvey Scholarship to explore the natural world both locally and globally. I\u2019m also looking forward to serving the campus community and Fredericksburg through the various community-focused clubs that the University of Mary Washington has to offer,\u201d Driscoll said.<\/p>\n
