For Sophomore Hailey Boyd a chapter scholarship is helping her pursue her dream of becoming an elementary school teacher.
The Annapolis Hokie said the scholarship she received from her local chapter allowed her to afford out-of-state tuition.
“I would encourage Hokies who have the ability to give back to do so. These scholarships can be the difference between someone being able to go to VT or not, and they give people the opportunity to be a part of the Hokie community,” Boyd said.
Each year chapters around the world rally together to raise money for student scholarships to help Hokies in their neighborhood. The scholarships make a difference for Hokies just starting their journey at Virginia Tech, like Boyd.
Annapolis alumni help at least one student each year with $1,000.
You can support a new Hokie from the area by making a gift to the chapter’s crowdfunding campaign. Together Annapolis Hokies are trying to raise $2,000.
Gifts of any size matter and it's a chance to help Hokies in your community.
Donors to our scholarship fund through this page will be thanked with a special Virginia Tech Alumni sticker so you can let the community know that you care about supporting the Hokie experience!
“Virginia Tech has helped me find a community of people who have the same interests and goals as me,” said Boyd. “It has supported me throughout my education and continued learning. Virginia Tech has a great system of students and professors who genuinely care for you and your success.”
Every little bit counts as we support our local Hokie students.
Alumni support is critical to continuing to provide financial support to local students. Help us help other Hokies!
As our local students move away from home, help us make their first year in Blacksburg a little easier with a local alumni scholarship.
