Supporting Our Priorities

As our fans, you deserve to know exactly what we must prioritize to compete at the highest level.

Virginia Tech's fundraising strategy centers around four key focus areas—all of which are essential to supporting current student-athletes, future Hokies, and the long-term sustained excellence of our programs.

With the rising cost of tuition and the NCAA's change in scholarship limits, Virginia Tech Athletics has the ability to provide more scholarships than ever before. The Hokie Scholarship Fund will continue to be a main priority, while we raise unrestricted dollars through the Invest to Win Fund and promote programmatic excellence for all 22 of our varsity sports.

Hokie scholarship fund & membership

The Hokie Scholarship Fund represents the backbone of our annual giving efforts, providing essential dollars to pay the scholarship bill, a bill which has increased as a result of the House v. NCAA settlement. While there are now roster limits, there are no longer limits to the number of scholarships on a roster. The courts' decision to lift scholarship limits provides an amazing opportunity for our department to offer additional scholarships to our student-athletes. With this opportunity comes additional scholarship costs, and the Hokie Club and our athletic business office foresee an increase of more than $2 million dollars to the scholarship bill from FY25 to FY26.

Per-seat gifts tied to season tickets, as well as philanthropic contributions to the Hokie Scholarship Fund, are more crucial than ever. We're asking every Hokie, whether you're a lifelong season ticket holder or a recent graduate, to support the Hokie Scholarship Fund.

If you're already a Hokie Scholarship Fund donor, your continued investment plays a vital role in driving Virginia Tech Athletics forward. Now is the time to take that next step, whether by choosing to Level Up or by giving 110% of what you gave in the previous drive year. Every donor's commitment strengthens our foundation, empowers our student-athletes, and helps us reach new heights together.

Please note that you must maintain the membership level you select in Drive Year 2027 for the entirety of the three-year giving cycle leading up to the next full re-seat. If you do not maintain your Hokie Scholarship Fund giving level, you will be required to reselect your parking in the Spring 2028.

Major gifts, endowments & capital projects

For those with the philanthropic capacity and intention to make a significant impact, major gift contributions begin with commitments totaling $100,000 or more, whether contributed in a single gift or over time. These investments provide the essential fuel to strengthen every facet of Virginia Tech Athletics, from facility enhancements and student-athlete scholarships to operational budgets and strategic initiatives.

To show our appreciation, all major gifts initiated after January 1, 2026 will qualify for double priority points, amplifying your legacy while deepening your connection to Hokie sports. Many major gifts also open the door to sport-specific booster groups, giving donors exclusive access to program events, team interactions and inside perspectives from coaches and staff.

Sport-Specific Giving

Sport-specific giving allows you to make an immediate impact on your favorite programs. These gifts provide the additional resources our 22 varsity sports need to compete at the highest level. Travel expenses, recruiting budgets, nutrition and recovery support, it all starts with funding from sport-specific gifts. You can support our sports at any point throughout the year, but be on the look-out for pledge-per initiatives, sport-specific giving days, and be sure to ask a Hokie Club staff member about your favorite program's booster group.

Interested in making a major gift, setting up an endowment or supporting a capital project? Call the Hokie Club at 540-231-6618 or email us at hokieclub@vt.edu.
