Learn about the program

The Beyond Boundaries Scholars program was created in 2016 as a presidential initiative to support high-achieving students who may not otherwise have the means to attend Virginia Tech.

Donors supporting the program with a gift of $3,000 or more have the opportunity to participate in the program in the following ways:

  • Receive university gift matching, dollar for dollar.
  • Choose to support the university-wide fund (utilized where we have the greatest need) and/or a specific college(s).
  • Name their scholarship (example: the Addison Caldwell Beyond Boundaries Scholar).
  • Connect with a student recipient.
  • Attend an event to meet the recipients and other donors supporting the program.

Donors may also support the program with gifts below $3,000, by giving to the Beyond Boundaries Scholars Annual Fund.
