The mission of the Tidewater Chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association is to promote the University in the local area by: (1) providing scholarships to incoming freshmen from our local community and (2) providing events for alumni and supporters of Virginia Tech to gather for fun and fellowship. We are a 501c3 organization. Sponsorships and donations to the chapter are tax deductible and used primarily to fund our Chapter Scholarship program. We have awarded over $125,000 in scholarships over the last 10 years.
