VSUAA Endowments

Endowments are often referred to as gifts that keep on giving. Endowed gifts are held in perpetuity and allow our beloved alma mater to create and maintain excellence in academics beyond what can be accomplished with funding from the State. Endowments are an investment in the future... the future for Virginia State University. Over the years, the Alumni Association has established several endowments through its active chapters. These (Chapter) endowments have not only been instrumental in awarding endowed scholarships to students located in the Chapter's local geographic area but have also helped the University attract and retain well-qualified students.
