Admission & Aid

You make this place what it is.

The University of Richmond is only as strong as the people who call it home. This strength is amplified by a community with varied backgrounds, passions, and talents.

That means we focus on the vibrancy and energy you bring with you — not your finances. After all, your family’s income says nothing of your character or ambition. Why should it have any bearing on our admission decisions?

We’re among only 1% of U.S. institutions that combine need-blind admission with a guarantee to meet 100% of demonstrated need. That’s a distinction to be proud of.
