About College of William and Mary
The second oldest university in America and one of the most wired, William and Mary is dedicated to the ideal of balance. It attracts students who are mulititalented, multidimensional, and diverse. And it prepares them with the skills they will need to create the lives they want and to shape the world they want to live in. Students attend classes in rooms where Thomas Jefferson studied and at the same time use some of the most sophisticated computer technology and scientific instrumentation in the world. William and Mary is among the nation's best universities, but its students know how to have fun. Whatever your personal passion, political persuasion or preferred pastime may be, William and Mary has a club for you. At last count there were some 380 campus organizations, ranging from the African Cultural Society to Animal Protection, from Classical Studies to Club International, from Habitat for Humanity to the Investment Club, and from the Sign Language Club to the Society of Physics Students. Regardless of interest or background, we are all part of a close community.

To apply for participation in the STAR Program, students must submit a written application form, health form, a current grade report, and a copy of the most recent high school transcript. All application materials must be postmarked by May 1, 2009 to be considered. See your high school science teacher for an application, or call the Office of Multicultural Affairs at W&M, 757-221-2300. Applications can also be downloaded from the STAR Program’s Web page. Students must support their application with at least two recommendations. One recommendation must be from a teacher or counselor. Additional recommendations can be from others qualified to judge the student's potential for success in the STAR program -- other teachers, coaches, social workers, or other community members who know the student well. STAR is open to all students from disadvantaged backgrounds who will have successfully completed the 10th grade (sophomore year of high school) by June, 2009. For the purpose of STAR "disadvantaged" means students from lower socio-economic backgrounds, students with parents whose formal education includes little or no college-level work, and students from high schools with modest resources in math and science. Students must have earned a cumulative GPA of at least a "B" in high school to be eligible for participation (current transcript required), have completed at least two courses in science, and two in math (1 year of algebra and 1 year or geometry OR 2 years of algebra). |
