Ways to Give

There are various opportunities to provide financial support to Black students at UVA.

To maximize what we can do for our Ridley Scholars and alumni, we are proud to announce a fundraising competition raising money for the Ridley Scholarship Program, lasting until June 30! Join the competition.
  • Ravenell “Ricky” Keller III Study Abroad Scholarship: Providing talented Black students with financial support for study abroad experiences.
  • Alumni Association Scholarships: Offering a variety of custom scholarships for Black students who demonstrate financial need.
  • The Alumni Association Annual Fund: Providing flexibility for the Alumni Association to connect, serve, inform and invest in our community. We want to be responsive to your ideas and interests, and resources from the Annual Fund allow the Alumni Association to pursue new ventures and adapt current ones to benefit alumni, students and the University.
