VCUAA Legacy Scholarship Application
The Legacy Scholarship Program contributes a sense of tradition, heritage, and continuity. Having children and grandchildren attend VCU is one of the strongest expressions of pride and confidence an alumnus can make.
Legacy Scholarship Awards
The scholarship awards are made possible through the generosity of donors and dues paying members of the Association. The number of $1000 scholarships awarded each year will depend on proceeds from the legacy scholarship endowment. There is no residency requirement.
Eligibility

· Parent/grandparent or guardian must be an active dues paying member of the VCUAA at the time of application and must remain active for the duration of the scholarship.
· Students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher (on a scale of 4.0).

Application/Selection Process
