High School Counselors
Welcome to the University of the Incarnate Word
Our goal is to provide important information to future Cardinals, including the counselors and high school administrators who assist them in their college search. As an alumna and proud Cardinal parent, I am always excited to share the wonderful opportunities that UIW has to offer students seeking an education in a smaller school setting and with a variety of degree options. UIW is a diverse community where most students will be able to find their niche – from first-gen to international to LGBTQIA+ to Greek life and clubs to Division I athletics. We know that students are looking for a meaningful educational experience and UIW provides a campus setting that encourages transformation in a global community. There are many challenges in getting students information about colleges so I hope that you find what you need on this page designed especially for you. May you have a safe and successful school year! I look forward to welcoming students from your school to the Cardinal community.
