  • The Annual Fund for Academic Excellence helps to provide the best education and experience for all Wesleyan students by supporting student scholarships, computer lab additions, technology upgrades, library resources and critical needs as they arise on campus.  Here is what Kellee Amburn '06 had to say about receiving an Annual Scholarship through the Annual Fund for Academic Excellence: "I have been able to attend the College of my dreams due to receiving my scholarship.  I chose to come to Virginia Wesleyan College because of the size.  I learn better in a smaller environment.  If I had not received my scholarship, I would be attending a state school.  I am so happy to be at Virginia Wesleyan and would not change it for anything!"
