UVA Club of Charlottesville

The UVA Club of Charlottesville is a community club, regardless of your affiliation with the University of Virginia. We host a series of educational, networking, athletic, charitable and social events where you will meet many people in the greater Charlottesville/Albemarle area who have an appreciation for UVA and its critically important role in the community in which it thrives.

Scholarship Fund

Our scholarship is currently funded by donations and the proceeds from two dedicated fundraisers each year. Our leadership and participants remain committed to growing our annual scholarship through programming and the generous support of alumni, parents, and friends of UVA. Will you help us in this endeavor?

Thank you for your support of our local students!

Mr. Jefferson believed education was the most effective way to establish an organized, informed, and capable society. Moreover, he felt that institutions of learning should be financially supported by the general public; scholarship could be obtained by people from varied social and economic backgrounds.

In this same vein, the UVA Club of Charlottesville established a scholarship in 2019 to provide financial assistance to an incoming student from the greater Charlottesville area. Our annual recipient comprises the Jeffersonian qualities of citizenship, leadership, and integrity, and demonstrates a financial need.

The annual scholarship of $500 will be awarded to one student. To inquire about the application, please contact Molly Bass (Col ’88, Ed ‘90), Director, Scholarships & Endowments, UVA Fund, at mcb7k@virginia.edu, or 434-243-9019.

Volunteer with the Club

The UVA Club of Charlottesville has lots in store for the year ahead. That means we are looking for volunteers to lead and help with events.

If you are interested in meeting other area Hoos, supporting current students on Grounds, learning from UVA professors, supporting the C'ville community, and more, please note your area(s) of interest and a member of the Club's leadership will be in touch in early February.

For questions, please contact Missy Henriksen (Col '88, PAR '22).
