Scholarship Donors
VFIC scholarships help our seventeen member institutions enroll students who would not otherwise consider independent higher education, and the scholarships help keep them in school until graduating with a relevant degree. Since 2000, the VFIC has awarded nearly 15,000 scholarships, many to students who are marginalized and underserved, giving them an opportunity to chart a successful future. We are grateful to the following donors who provided scholarship support in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

L. Hopson
University of Richmond Graduate
“Without you believing that I could achieve my goal and supporting me all 4-years at this institution, I would not be where I am today. No amount of words can express my gratitude. Thank you again for this life changing opportunity.”
R. Alexander
Washington and Lee University Graduate
“Thanks in part to the UPS scholarship I received through the VFIC, I was able to attend and graduate from my dream school. My four years there helped me discover my love for the study of political philosophy and led me to pursue my Ph.D. in political science. I am now starting my fourth year in the program, teaching my own class of undergraduates and hopefully passing down the gift of a liberal arts education.”
