Pamplin Virginia Tech Advantage Challenge
This year, your gift will go to help unlock scholarship support for talented and resolute Pamplin students. Did you know that Virginia Tech is only able to help meet 54 percent of students’ overall financial need to attend? In line with the Virginia Tech Advantage, we are challenging all Pamplin alumni to help us address the financial burden of attending college by making a Giving Day gift, to the designation of choice to any Pamplin fund on the Giving Day platform. Donors can make a gift to any Pamplin fund and help unlock funds for Pamplin scholarships. For every 275 unique donors, $10,000 will be unlocked for Pamplin scholarship support, up to $100,000. The 2024 Pamplin Virginia Tech Advantage Challenge is facilitated by the generous support of Michael Clarke ’83, who believes strongly that a Pamplin education should be affordable and accessible to any student talented and diligent enough to pursue a Pamplin degree.
