As we prepare to celebrate his inauguration, we invite you to make a gift to the Presidential Endowed Scholarship Fund to show your support for President Hemphill and Radford University's deserving students.

The Presidential Endowed Scholarship Fund is named in honor of all presidents of Radford University and their commitment to excellence in higher education and serving students. The Presidential Scholarship is one of the most prestigious scholarships awarded to incoming freshmen who have excelled during their high school career. This scholarship helps provide access to a Radford University education for the best and the brightest students.
