Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Highlander Senior Class Scholarship?

  •  The Highlander Senior Class Scholarship is awarded to a rising senior every year. This scholarship is the first of its kind at Radford – an endowment entirely funded by students, for students. Since this effort kicked off in fall 2017, over 1,800 Highlanders have supported it. Make your gift today to join the ranks of proud Highlanders!

Why should I give?

  • Making your gift is an easy way to make a difference in the lives of the Highlanders who come after you – truly paying it forward!

What is our goal?

  • Our goal for the Highlander Senior Class Scholarship is to exceed 500 senior gifts by May 2023. Each gift is a vote of support for the next generation of Highlanders!

How much should I give?

  • While no gift is too small, we encourage you to make your gift of $20.23 or more to receive your red and white philanthropy cord in honor of your generosity. You can then wear your cord at commencement representing your #HighlanderPride.

How will I receive my cord?

  • Once you complete your gift online, you will be sent a confirmation email containing a survey link to choose when and where you would like to pick up your cord. Onsite pickup is available on main campus and at RUC. Just fill out the survey with your preferred location!
