Invest In Me
Help make an accessible, enriching college education possible for all VCU students
If you know anything about Virginia Commonwealth University, you know it’s different here. Like many public research universities, we strive to achieve distinction in education, research, service and patient care. We cultivate discovery, creativity and talent. We foster collaboration to advance learning, entrepreneurship and inquiry.
At VCU, however, we know that access is just as important as excellence. Our students need your help to make the most of their time here.
The Invest in Me campaign aims to raise funds to enhance the VCU experience, from scholarships that make it possible for students to join our campus community and stay the course through graduation to awards that offset living expenses while they focus on meaningful internships or assistantships to travel grants that help them attend academic and professional conferences or expand their horizons through study abroad.
VCU students are the doctors, job creators, engineers, social workers, dentists and artists — the changemakers — of tomorrow.
Invest in them. Your support today is an investment not just in their future but in all of our futures.

“Black and brown women are more likely to die during childbirth than any other group. I want to become an advocate so more women can have their concerns listened to. My scholarship has been a blessing to me, my family and my future patients. It’s helping me afford my education while allowing me to focus on my studies.”

“I was able to make a donation to Virginia Community Voice, an organization I had collaborated with during my fellowship. It was really important to me to value their time and the work they do with funding they can use however it’s needed. I wouldn’t have been able to afford to make that donation without my scholarship.”
