The University serves Virginia, the nation, and the world by preparing responsible citizen-leaders; advancing, preserving, and disseminating knowledge; and providing world-class patient care.
All gifts of any kind help secure the University’s place as a premier institution of learning and make it possible for our students, faculty, and researchers to shape a brighter.
You can give to all 12 schools across Grounds. The possibilities are endless for supporting our students, faculty, and programs. Together, we will find the way forward.
You can join the growing number of alumni and friends who invest now in the University’s future by including UVA as a beneficiary of their wills, charitable trusts, and retirement plans. Gifts like these can offer you and your family significant tax benefits as well as greater financial flexibility in meeting your personal and philanthropic goals.
Through Honor the Future, the Campaign for the University of Virginia, we are building on our strong foundations to support the president’s vision: to become the best public university by 2030 and one of the very best in the world.
Enhancing the Student Experience
OVERVIEW
The UVA Parents Program enhances the student experience through annual gifts from parents of current and former students. Directed by the UVA Parents Committee, the Parents Program supports student clubs and cultural events, academic enhancement programs and career services, health and wellness initiatives, and class dinners and traditions that enrich student life across Grounds.
PRIORITIES
Through gifts to the Parents Fund, the Parents Program directly enhances student life through three core priorities:
UVA’s excellence in academics is matched by its distinctive student experience. The UVA Parents Program is dedicated to providing a margin of excellence to make the student experience even better.
Scholarships
The Gilbert J. Sullivan Scholarship and the Gordon C. Burris Scholarship are awarded to rising third-year students who have a demonstrated record of citizenship, leadership, academic achievement, and financial need.
Grants
Providing grants helps us enhance the undergraduate student experience. We have allocated more than $1 million across Grounds annually for the last several academic years.
