Virginia Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), offers a number of scholarships to residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia for use in Virginia schools, colleges, and universities. Scholarships listed as "vacant" are to be filled, if possible, by the Committee on Education for the academic year 2008-2009.
The amount of each scholarship awarded or reawarded will depend on the income earned on scholarship investment funds. A check made payable to the college or university for the entire annual amount of the scholarship awarded or reawarded will be sent to the Financial Aid Office on or about August 15, 2008. Students who apply for scholarships through Virginia Division are asked to comply with these published rules for applying and to help the UDC in promoting its educational work among lineal descendants of Confederate Veterans, present or former members of the Children of the Confederacy, members of the UDC, and children of UDC members (living or deceased).
