28 DEVELOPMENT NEWS Tuition Assistance Fund Keeps Students in School! Since its inception, Virginia State University has remained steadfast in its commitment to providing a quality education to all who come eager to work hard and study rigorously. At the beginning of this academic year, many freshmen from low-income households were provisionally accepted to VSU. The University’s Administration worked diligently to raise funds for financial aid that would allow all eligible students to remain. Unfortunately, some of these students were sent home, merely for lack of resources. You can help prevent students from being turned away this fall by giving to the Tuition Assistance Fund Drive. This fund provides direct aid to help students stay in school, which is why your support is crucial to our efforts to raise $50,000 by September 30. Every gift to the Scholarship honors Millard “Pete” Stith, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. William H. Goodwin, Jr. of Richmond, VA have pledged $200,000 to Virginia State University (VSU) to establish a scholarship in honor of Mr. Millard D. “Pete” Stith, Jr.. Stith, Deputy County Administrator of Chesterfield County, VA, is a longtime supporter of VSU. He served on the university’s Board of Visitors from 1994-1998 and as Rector of the Board from 1996-1997. He led VSU’s first Capital Campaign, which ended in 2001 after having exceeded its goal by more than $1.5 million. He also has been instrumental in orga- VIRGINIA STATE UNIVERSITY nizing Chesterfield County’s annual Black History Month concerts at VSU.

Recipients will be chosen based on financial need, leadership and/or sportsmanship and community service. Recipients must have at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 collegiate grading scale. The amount of annual awards, and number of recipients, will be determined from income earned on the endowment’s principal.

Higher education remains the passport to the American Dream.
