Say hello to the future. For Luke Tonia and Jacob Soles, great high school chemistry teachers got them fired up about science and stoked an interest in pursuing education as a career. At Virginia Tech, scholarships helped fund their preparation to share their passion for science with the next generation of young learners. Like inspired teaching, endowed gifts endure from generation to generation, providing scholarships, undergraduate research opportunities, and top faculty — powerful advantages that help College of Science students realize their dreams and ignite the dreams of those who follow them. There are many ways to create an endowed fund. Learn how you can make a gift that will ignite dreams for generations to come.
