Event Recaps VAF Names 2013-14 Endowed Scholarship Recipients The Virginia Athletics Foundation named the 2013-14 recipients of its 51 endowed scholarships at the All-Sports Banquet held on May 1. The following four endowed scholarships were awarded for the first time: The Ed Armstrong Endowed Football Scholarship—David Dean The Leighton and Anne Rawles Huske Men's Basketball Scholarship —Justin Anderson The Fred N. Newman Endowed Men's Basketball Scholarship—Joe Harris The James R. Rutrough, Jr. Endowed Scholarship for Baseball—Kyle Crockett The Foundation is able to fund the 316.6 athletic scholarships allowed by the NCAA each year, but only a fraction of those are funded by the endowment. The majority of the scholarship funds are raised each year as part of the annual campaign. The goal is to endow all of the scholarships in order to rely less on the annual campaign. This would allow the annual giving funds to be utilized on other strategic initiatives to benefit the student-athletes and improve the overall financial stability of the athletics department. Gifts to establish endowed scholarships are invested and an annual distribution is used to provide funding for the designated scholarship recipient. The Milton G. Abramson Track Scholarship—Anna Finger The John William Barnard Endowed Scholarship—Kate Norbo The Paul B. Barringer Scholarship—Heidi Velk The Mark Bernardino Endowed Swimming Scholarship—Brad Phillips The Hedley M. Bowen Scholarship for Football—Kevin Parks The Virginia McDowell Bowen Scholarship for Football—Henry Coley The Harold M. Burrows, Jr. Endowed Tennis Scholarship—Alex Domijan The Betty Sams Christian Coca-Cola Classic Men's Soccer Scholarship—Todd Wharton The Betty Sams Christian Coca-Cola Classic Women's Soccer Scholarship—Molly Menchel
