It is NOT too late to apply!

One of the most common questions we hear in the admissions office at this time of year is: "Is it too late to apply for the fall?" The answer is: no. As a matter of fact, this is one of the busiest times in the admissions office. If you are curious about the process please give us a call (434.842.4205) or email (maceks@fuma.org) and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Admissions Director at Tyson's Corner Center July 19th and 20th

Please stop by and say hello to me if you are at Tyson's Corner Center Mall this weekend. I will be there all day Saturday and Sunday and look forward to speaking with you about our school. We have plenty of Admissions and/or NFL Films DVDs available and a few other items for you to take home. We saw quite a few people the first 2 weekends we were there. It was great to meet interested families, see current cadets and catch up with some of our Alumni. Prospective and current families and Alumni are all welcome to stop by. I hope to see you at the mall.

Greetings

For my first "Admissions" blog entry, I thought it would be appropriate to briefly introduce myself. My name is LTC Steve Macek and I have been a part of FUMA since 1994. One of the questions I am asked frequently is "How did you end up at FUMA?" In 1994 my wife-to-be told me she was moving to Virgina to pursue a PhD in physics. With one year left in college I vowed to finish strong and follow her when I finished my degree. Little did I know that my following her south from New England would lead me through the gates of Fork Union Military Academy. And here I remain.
