Saturday, October 14, 2023 & Saturday, October 21, 2023
This year we combined the best elements of Fall Blast and Fall Fling into Fall Fest to offer you additional exciting programming, more access to students and staff, and more ways to learn about the academic and cultural opportunities available at UVA. Fall Fest is designed to highlight Black and African-American and Hispanic and Latinx student experiences here at UVA. These one-day events for prospective students and families will also highlight some of the countless resources that students use to find their place in the diverse UVA community.
Fall Fest will feature information sessions on admission and financial aid, as well as our individual schools and colleges; lunch in our dining facilities; a student-led tour of Grounds; and more! Find the full schedule for each day below!
Registration for this event is first-come, first-served. Programming for each date is the same, so please register for the date that works best for you and your schedule. Please reach out if you have any questions! You can contact us by phone at (434)982-3200, or by email at [email protected].
We know that the best possible way to learn whether UVA is a good college fit for you is to visit Grounds. We also know that travel isn't cheap and some families may need financial assistance to make a visit possible. The University of Virginia is committed to increasing the college going rate of first-generation, low-income, and underserved students. Thus, we have funds available to provide travel grants for students who live in Virginia. The funds will be used to provide reimbursement of transportation to and from Grounds.
