Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Virginia Tech Athletic Department funded?
The Virginia Tech Athletic Department receives no funding from the Commonwealth of Virginia; therefore, it must operate solely on what monies that it generates. Funds are generated from football and basketball season ticket revenue, conference and television rights revenue, and private support from donors in the Hokie Club.
How will my contribution to the Hokie Club be used?
Donations to the Hokie Club are primarily used to provide scholarship aid to our twenty-one varsity sports programs. Funds are also used to support facility improvements and programmatic needs of the Virginia Tech Athletics department.
Why should I give to the Hokie Club?
With over 475 student-athletes and the cost of both in state and out of state scholarships continuing to rise, every donation to the Hokie Club is important. Virginia Tech athletics brings national attention to the University and to maintain our programs at such high recognition, we must be able to offer the best athletes in the country support towards a quality education.
What options do I have when setting up my payment schedule for my annual gift?
When making an annual gift, there are several ways you can set up your payment schedule. You can pay the full amount in one lump sum with cash or credit card via our online form, you may set up quarterly payments, set up payroll deduction (VT employees), or set up Hokie Matic (monthly electronic transfer from either your checking/savings account.)
