Merit Scholarships
The Richmond Scholars Program is the University’s most prestigious academic scholarship. Up to 25 incoming students receive these awards — which are equivalent to full tuition, room, and meals — and join our growing worldwide community of Richmond Scholars. First year applicants must apply by December 1 to be considered.
The Presidential Scholarship is the University’s other prestigious academic scholarship awarded to up to 80 incoming students each year. The award is one-third tuition for four years. All first year applicants are considered.
International Admission
The Richmond community finds immeasurable strength in a far-reaching variety of perspectives and experiences. That’s one big reason that one in 10 UR students are not U.S. citizens. We welcome and celebrate applications from all students, regardless of citizenship or residency.
