The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets continues to evolve as a world-class leader-development program that prepares cadets for the world they will graduate into. Our alumni rise to face new challenges and leave a lasting impact on their communities and around the globe. Your donation to the funds below on Giving Day directly supports today’s cadets.
- Commandant’s Priorities Fund provides unrestricted support for the Corps to use where the need is greatest.
- Commandant Response Fund supports cadets who face financial crises.
- VTCC Scholarship Annual Fund helps cover tuition and education-related expenses.
- Major General and Mrs. Randal D. Fullhart Horizon Fund provides all junior and senior cadets (in good standing) an additional $3,500 scholarship.
- VTCC Museum Fund provides operational and programming support to showcase the history of the Corps.
- Highty-Tighties Annual Fund supports the regimental band.
- VTCC Global Scholars Annual Fund supports experiential learning opportunities and study abroad experience while cadets learn about leadership and conflict by studying world war battle sites.
- W. Thomas Rice Center for Leader Development inspires our future leaders by supporting speakers and lecture series to help cadets learn to lead.
