ADMISSIONS & FINANCIAL AID

Academy Admissions

College Admissions

Families choose Valley Forge for many reasons:

  • Academy applicants may seek a more rigorous academic program, more attention from teachers, or an environment free of distractions that keep them from doing their best work.
  • College applicants may seek one to two years of college experience before transferring to a four-year institution, becoming appointed to one of the national service academies, or pursuing professional military careers.

Admission Considerations
Valley Forge Military Academy seeks to enroll young men of sound moral character that possess scholastic, mental and physical qualities in order to succeed in a rigorous college preparatory environment. In particular, we look for young men who are motivated to achieve their full potential and go on to succeed at the top colleges and universities in the U.S. The Academy has a rolling admissions policy for enrollment beginning in the fall or winter semesters.

Financial Aid Considerations
Valley Forge Military Academy and College offers a very limited amount of institutional aid. Generally scholarships and financial aid are awarded only to eligible Academy cadets (grades 9-12) and eligible College cadets. Awards are made beginning in April and in most cases assume a full year's attendance. Candidates must apply to the Academy or the College first and then apply for financial aid.

  • Students with exceptional academic, athletic (predominantly football) or musical abilities may apply for a limited number of merit-based partial scholarships.
  • Approximately 65% of our College students receive some form of aid from federal, state or private sources.
  • Young men attending the two-year college can compete for tuition scholarships through the U.S. Army Senior ROTC program.
  • A tuition payment plan is available. For details, contact our Office of Admissions.
