In 1994, the VFIC was the recipient of a substantial gift from the will of Mrs. N. Chisholm Barnhart. With that gift, the Barnhart Scholarship Program was established to assist students with financial need and promise. The Beazley Scholarships honor the late Fred W. Beazley. Each year eight Virginia students at each campus are awarded Beazley Scholarships for a total of 120 scholars. Scholars are chosen on the basis of all-round promise and financial need.
Special attention is given to character and citizenship in addition to academic performance.
