In Their Own Words

“I received this scholarship before journeying to Korea for a life changing semester abroad in 2024. The support from VPWF enabled me to focus on expanding my worldly knowledge in the classroom and beyond, through curious exploration of unfamiliar places, meaningful connection to people and intercultural exchange of ideas.” — Lily Reslink, Virginia Wesleyan University, 2024 recipient

Why They Give

“Throughout my career I’ve had individuals who mentored and guided me. I try to do the same. With the rising cost of higher education, though, mentoring isn’t enough, which is why I contribute to the VPW Foundation. I want to help our future communicators gain the foundation that they need in their careers.” — Cynthia Price, past president, NFPW; past president, VPW; 2012 NFPW Communicator of Achievement

“When I was in college, a modest stipend from a donor to do some research made me feel I was on the right path, that I was a fledgling professional. So that’s why I give to the VPW Foundation. I want students to feel supported and recognized as they pursue their communications careers.” — Julie Campbell, past president, VPW
