ADMISSIONS &
FINANCIAL AID Families choose Valley Forge for many reasons:
- Academy applicants may seek a more rigorous academic program, more attention from
teachers, or an environment free from 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 can be
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 limited amount of
institutional aid. Generally scholarships and financial aid are
awarded only to eligible Academy cadets (grades 9-12). 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 or musical
abilities may apply for merit-based 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.
