VCOM- Giving to VCOM- Scholarships

VCOM has several current, designated scholarships where you may wish to apply your gift, OR you may wish to begin your own scholarship fund.

Those currently in place are:

Appalachian Virginia Service Scholarship
The Appalachian Virginia Service Scholarship was established to facilitate recruitment, training, and retention of students in the rural and underserved areas of Appalachian Virginia. Appalachian Virginia includes the counties of Alleghany, Bath, Bland, Botetourt, Buchanan, Carroll, Craig, Dickenson, Floyd, Giles, Grayson, Highland, Lee, Montgomery, Pulaski, Rockbridge, Russell, Scott, Smith, Tazewell, Washington, Wise/Norton, and Wythe, and the independent cities of Bristol, Buena Vista, Covington, Galax, Lexington, Norton, and Radford. This one-time scholarship is awarded to an incoming first-year student whose career plan is to practice medicine in Appalachian Virginia. Recipients must be residents of Appalachian Virginia or have obtained an undergraduate degree from a four-year college or University in Appalachian Virginia.

The Carolinas Service Scholarship
The Carolinas Service Scholarship was established to facilitate the recruitment of physicians in rural and underserved areas of the Carolinas. This scholarship is awarded to a first-year student whose career plan is to practice in North or South Carolina. Recipients must be residents of North or South Carolina and have graduated from a four-year North or South Carolina college or university.

Rural or Under Served Virginia Services Scholarship
The Rural or Underserved Virginia Service Scholarship granted to a graduate of a four-year Virginia college or university who is a resident of a rural or medically underserved area in Virginia and who plans to return to a rural or medically underserved area in Virginia to practice medicine.

Of course, VCOM welcomes additional gifts to the above scholarships, but also is interested in working with perspective benefactors to establish new scholarships to honor or memorialize individuals or efforts. Scholarships to support those entering primary care and/or rural and small community sites are strongly encouraged.

For more information about establishing a new scholarship, contact Diane Sutphin, Director of Development Office at 540-231-3584 or 540-230-6275, djsutphin@vcom.vt.edu.
