Letter from the Athletic Director

To Prospective Student Athletes:

Thank you for considering Mary Baldwin College as you decide where you can meet your educational goals and continue to be active as a Varsity Athlete.  As a Division III institution we encourage students to be active in the entire college experience, however we value our athletic program and are looking for student athletes who wish to continue to grow and achieve in their chosen sport.

You will find that our coaches are well prepared to take you to the next level in your athletic career. They have your best interest at heart as a student athlete and are prepared to assist you in practice and at contests.  You will find they are more than willing to answer questions concerning academics and point you to the correct resource on campus.

Mary Baldwin College awards merit scholarships based on good grades and SAT/ACT test scores, in addition to need based aid.  It is important for you to do your very best in your high school career and keep academics a priority as you compete.  Mary Baldwin College offers wonderful leadership skills which will assist you in the world after college.  Playing a varsity sport here will give you an arena to practice those leadership skills, to push yourself outside your comfort zone and to have fun with others who enjoy your sport.

I hope you will consider a visit.  Please know that our coaches and I are here to assist you.  Best wishes as you complete high school and decide on a college.
