- This year, the Annual Fund for Academic Excellence provided 217 Virginia Wesleyan students with scholarships. For many of these students, this scholarship support was a deciding factor on if they were able to attend Wesleyan. Matt Douglas-Snyder, class of 2009, wrote: "Receiving an Annually Funded Scholarship makes it possible for me to attend Virginia Wesleyan. Otherwise it would not be affordable. It has really improved my educational experience because it allows me to attend my first choice school." To make a gift online, click here. To view the honor roll of donors, click here.
