Can my school nominate more than one student for the Jefferson Scholarship?

Most participating schools nominate only one student each year, although nomination policies may vary. Ask your school counsellor about your school’s internal selection process.

What happens if my school does not participate in the Jefferson Scholarship?

If your secondary school is not part of the nomination network, you generally cannot apply directly. Contact the Jefferson Scholars Foundation to ask whether your school can become an eligible nominating institution.

Will I lose the scholarship if I am admitted to another university?

Yes. The Jefferson Scholarship is exclusively for undergraduate study at the University of Virginia and cannot be transferred to another institution.

When should international students contact their school about nomination?

Ideally, students should speak with their counsellor or principal several months before the official deadline, as many schools have earlier internal nomination deadlines.

What documents should I prepare before requesting a nomination?

Prepare your academic transcripts, leadership achievements, community service record, awards, extracurricular activities, and any evidence demonstrating measurable impact. Having these documents ready makes the school’s nomination process much smoother.
