Supporting Chemistry

How You Can Help

Create a Chemistry Scholarship

A scholarship in your name or the name of a special loved one is a gift that will live forever. You can help our students to become tomorrow’s leaders in industry, academia, and medicine. The Department of Chemistry offers scholarships to both undergraduate and graduate students based on academic potential, academic performance, and financial need. For more information on how to create a scholarship for a deserving Chemistry student, please contact Joe Merola at jmerola@vt.edu or 540-231-4510.

Support the Chemistry General Fund

The Department of Chemistry has established a Chemistry General Fund. Your contributions to this fund will be used to support the seminar and colloquium program, curriculum enhancements, student recruiting, student and faculty travel, and a variety of other activities. These unrestricted gifts provide special support to foster an intellectual community of faculty and students. Checks should be made payable to the VT Foundation, Inc. and you should designate “Chemistry General Fund” on the memo line of your check. Does your company provide matching gifts? If your employer participates in a matching gifts plan, please complete the paperwork to double or triple your contribution.
