dream. Virginia Union University will make that dream a reality for 25 Henrico County Public Schools eighth graders. A new
program called “VUU Henrico Scholars,” will award 25 eighth graders full-tuition scholarships to attend Virginia Union when
they graduate from high school in 2026. Recipients will also receive college-readiness support while in high school and will
participate in events at Virginia Union.
The application window opens Nov. 1 and the deadline to apply is Dec. 17 at 11:59 p.m. Scholarship recipients will be
announced in March 2022. For more information and to apply, go to www.henricoschools.us and look under “Hot Topics.”
A virtual family information session will be held Oct. 27 from 7-8 p.m. to learn more and ask questions. To attend, go to
