Since 1988, the Virginia Tech Alumni Association - Charlotte Chapter has awarded over $54,000 in scholarships to Charlotte area high school students who will be attending Virginia Tech as freshmen.  To facilitate this process, we have two interest bearing scholarship accounts in Blacksburg:
 
Charlotte Chapter Scholarship - Account #882586
Charlotte Alumni Chapter Endowed Scholarship - Account #860410

 
The annual scholarships (listed below) are paid out of the Charlotte Chapter Scholarship account. 
 
The Charlotte Alumni Chapter Endowed Scholarship account was created using proceeds from our annual golf tournaments.  Once this account reaches $50,000 (as per the University's endowment guidelines - we are nearly there), it will enable us to further supplement the annual scholarships based on the interest earned in the account.  We could not have created this account without the commitment of our golf tournament players, sponsors, and especially our organizing director, Gary Lark.
 
If you would like to help support these accounts, there are two ways to make a gift (outlined below). 
 
Please remember: YOUR DONATION DOESN’T NEED TO BE BIG TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.  If each local alumnus gave only $25 and used corporate matching, we could raise over $200,000 a year and endow many more scholarships.
