"I can't believe that all the effort that I've put in since Freshman year is going to lead to something like this. Just grateful and just so happy. I'm going to tell my dad and look at him in the eyes and say, I did it, I got 19 offers from different schools. He'll be proud, he'll be shocked, I think my dad is going to sleep well in his bed today. He'll be so happy”

Ola A.

"The VU process was simple and helpful. Matching our students with scholarships allowed them to explore new options and opportunities that they might not have considered. Watching their faces as they opened their awards was an incredible experience! We will definitely continue partnering with VU in the future."

Jennifer G.
Counselor

“It shows opportunities to me that I would not have found before, I received [offers of] over $1.4 million from 28 schools. It didn’t feel real when I first saw the number. It was so surprising.”

Ayo O.
Student

"Working with VU Scholarships was such an easy process. The scholarships our students received were awesome! It was such a magical moment to present students with their letters and watch their faces light up, watch each of them celebrate one another and know that some dreams are coming true."

Becky S.
Counselor

"VU Scholarships enriched the college decision process for our students. It opened the eyes of students and parents to the potential of scholarship money at a variety of colleges. The VU Scholarships program fits into our mission of helping students realize their potential and use their gifts. Their team was super easy and efficient to work with; the process was not complicated!"

Maureen E.
Principal

"I think it's good that they're giving all this information and offers to us; it definitely helps me to see the places I could go to or would fit me. I didn't even know half these colleges existed until now so it's good to see them and learn more about them"

Hayden E.
Student

"It teaches the students to think beyond the school, beyond the classes, beyond the individual projects and tests they're doing and see all the opportunities that are out there for them"
