Giving Opportunities
Your gift to the English Department is important to the students we serve. Your generosity assists us in providing scholarships for deserving and accomplished undergraduate and graduate students. In addition, your gifts help support student programs and activities that enhance curricular education.
Unrestricted gifts usually support student programs, such as our own undergraduate and graduate research conferences, our welcome picnic for new English majors, or student travel to research conferences. Gifts may also support visiting speakers.
Gifts targeted to particular initiatives are also welcome. Please see the list at the right for some possibilities. Some people give in honor or memory of a classmate, professor, or family member. We try to target those gifts to support projects that the honored person cherished.
Please join the growing circle of alumni and friends who collectively are
making a difference with a gift by visiting
www.givingto.vt.edu (specify “English
Department” If you are supporting a specific initiative, name that as well.)
If you would like more information about assisting with our student scholarship
and education programs through a bequest, estate/trust, or outright gift, please

Human Sciences, direct 540-231-8734, or toll-free 866-261-4443.
