Funds are used to assist undergraduate and graduate students pursuing unpaid internships and student teaching. This is critical to ensure that Radford students are getting practical work experience to enhance their education. Funds are used for travel and education-related expenses. Earnings from these funds are used to make annual awards to upperclass students. Awards may be based on financial need in addition to academic record and extracurricular activities.
Awards cover tuition, fees and education-related expenses.
These funds qualify for the Virginia Graduate and Undergraduate Assistance Program's matching funds. Income from these funds is earmarked for student programs, competitions, events and publications. Some popular areas of support include outstanding student awards, Student Government Association and conference participation. Support is for salary supplements and funds for teaching and research. This program qualifies for matching funds from the Virginia Council of Higher Education's Eminent Scholars Program.
