Walentas Scholars Program
Scholarship Sponsored by Jefferson Scholars Foundation
Here’s a clear rundown of the Walentas Scholarship written the way I’d explain it to a student planning for college. What the scholarship is - The Walentas Scholarship is specifically for first‑generation, college‑bound students. - It’s awarded to candidates who show demonstrated excellence and exceptional potential in three areas: leadership, scholarship (academic promise), and engaged citizenship. Who decides and how to be nominated - Nominations require materials from both the school counselor and the nominee (student). - Deadlines are communicated by email to nominators and nominees. If you’re unsure when your materials are due, contact the program office for confirmation. Important deadlines - Jefferson or Walentas Scholarship (both counselor and nominee materials): December 1, 2025 - Domestic and International At‑Large regions: November 15, 2025 Is this a full four‑year scholarship? - Yes. The award covers tuition, room, board, books, and miscellaneous expenses for eight semesters of full‑time study at the University of Virginia. Supports for first‑generation students - Walentas Scholars receive the same enrichment opportunities as Jefferson Scholars. - Additional supports include a Scholar Summit held before the first year to help with the transition to college and to begin building a peer community. - Scholars also have access to a dedicated program director and Foundation staff throughout their time at UVA. - UVA itself offers a variety of resources for first‑generation students as well. If you need clarification about deadlines or submission requirements, reach out to the scholarship office so you don’t miss anything.
