A commitment to student success and preparing workforce-ready graduates.

AdvancING Student Access

Students at Marymount commencement

Goal: $16,000,000


Our Saints embody the spirit of access and aspiration. Many are the first in their families to attend college, opening doors to opportunity for themselves and those who will follow. As Virginia’s first Hispanic-Serving Institution, Marymount celebrates a community that reflects a global perspective. Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds, with many relying on scholarships, financial aid, and Pell Grants to make their dreams possible. They are resilient, ambitious, and driven to transform their families, their communities, and the world.

Donors and alumni help students like me pursue bigger dreams by making scholarships possible.
