Demonstration of the minimal criteria does not guarantee admission to Mary Washington College. Mary Washington College will not issue the appropriate forms for a student visa until the student has applied, been offered admission, and paid the appropriate deposit on the first semester tuition. Once this form has been received, the student presents the I-20 to the U.S. consul or embassy where the student will be issued a Visa to study in the United States. Mary Washington College does not have the resources to offer financial assistance to non-U.S. citizens. Scholarships are available to the most competitive students.
Scholarships are also available to upperclassmen after they have declared a major.
A student registering for more than 18 credit hours in one semester is required to pay additional tuition charges. Applicants from other countries should have similar academic backgrounds. In the United States there are colleges and universities. Unlike many countries, colleges in the U.S. are institutions of higher learning, not secondary institutions. Universities offer a variety of programs including undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees.
