Scholarship Donations

For over 30 years, the Virginia Tech Faculty Women's Club has granted scholarships to women in undergraduate studies at Virginia Tech. The scholarship amount has grown over the years from $500 to $1200.

This year the scholarship funds were endowed with the Community Foundation of the New River Valley. The Foundation will invest the principal to insure a continuing income directed exclusively to our scholarships. The procedure and policies of selection of the award will be exactly the same as in past years and guided by the VTFWC scholarship committee.

To Make a Tax Deductible Gift

Gifts to the VTFWC Scholarship are tax deductible for the donor by writing a check to the Community Foundation of the New River Valley and indicating on the memo line VTFWC Scholarship. Checks should be sent to the VTFWC Treasurer at our PO Box address.

Donations must be made this way to be tax deductible.

Donor Recognition

To recognize the generosity of our members, we have established four levels of giving. Donations throught the year will be aggregated to determine a member's giving level. Donors will then be recognized by having their name published in an honor roll at the end of the club year. Donors wishing to remain anonymous may do so.

Levels (Giving Societies) will be based on "historical firsts" associated with women at Virginia Tech: the first year women were admitted to VPI, the name of the first women's basketball team, the name of the yearbook for women when they were excluded from the Bugle, and the name of the first women's dorm.

1921 Society	over $150
The Turkey Hens Society	$100 to $149
The Tin Horn Society	$50 to $99
The Hillcrest Society	up to $49
