Murray Scholars Program

William & Mary is seeking the best high school seniors in the state and nation to take part in an exceptional experience: our newly established Murray Scholars Program. The program will provide extraordinary opportunities to the student for learning and growth. It will offer personal faculty supervision, collaborative research initiatives, and substantial financial support.

Murray Scholars will have the chance to participate in specially designed seminars, study for a semester at Oxford University, and, under the guidance of a faculty mentorship team, design an innovative cross-disciplinary major and capstone research project. Together, these unique opportunities will make the Murray Scholars program one of the best undergraduate educations available anywhere.
