Give to Radford

RU awards about three percent of the total financial assistance needed to help the university's increasing student population. It is challenging to provide scholarships for all those who deserve and need them. Your support for the Radford University Endowed Scholarship Fund will give outstanding students the opportunity to focus more on classes and less on personal finances. Give online today!
 

Stay Connected

Encourage a young person in your life to become a Highlander! Talk to him or her about your experiences at RU and submit an Alumni Legacy Recommendation Form for your outstanding student. This form can be found on the Alumni Relations website under quick links.
