University of Mary Washington junior Hannah Jadgchew has been able to do it all in college. She has worked on a research team with her faculty mentor, participated in a clinical internship, competed on UMW’s varsity field hockey team, held leadership roles and even spearheaded an effort to donate 20,000 lbs. of food to local shelters.
“My scholarships have given me the freedom to flourish and engage in everything Mary Washington has to offer,” said Jadgchew, who came from San Diego to major in psychology and minor in neuroscience at UMW. She’s preparing for a career in speech and occupational therapy, hoping to “give a voice to children in this world who weren’t necessarily born with one.”
Jadgchew thanked the donors who established the Llewellyn Scholarship in Psychology, the Kenneth L. Steen Scholarship and the Civic Leadership and Community Engagement Scholarship that have supported her at Mary Washington over the past three years.
“Your investment doesn’t just fund education,” she said. “It transforms lives.”
That resounding message summed up the 2026 Scholarship Luncheon and Student Showcase on March 21. The annual event honors supporters who’ve established and funded private scholarships and members of UMW’s Washington and Heritage Societies who have contributed or pledged significant gifts to the University.
