The Education Committee strives to provide a conduit for prospective students in the Triangle Area to learn more about the University of Virginia. The Education Committee also oversees the Scholarship Fund.
- Thank you! With your contributions this past year, we were able to raise our Annual Scholarship to a $1,250 scholarship. As always, we'll be awarding the scholarship at our Annual Student Send-Off Picnic this August.
