The scholarships I have received from VCSU have allowed me to focus on studying and enjoying college life. I would like to thank the donors for their continued support, and let them know that their donations really do make a difference!

VCSU Legacy Society

The Legacy Society recognizes those folks who have included the University in their will or as a beneficiary of an insurance policy or trust. The Legacy Society is VCSU’s way of thanking those alumni and friends who have included the University in their estate plans.

If you have included the University in your estate plans, please contact the University Foundation/Advancement Office and advise us accordingly. All members of the Legacy Society will be listed in the annual Donor Edition. According to Larry Robinson, Director of Advancement, “The University often receives gifts from estates that come as a surprise. Although we appreciate these gifts, we are not positioned to express our thanks and appreciation. The Legacy Society will provide us an opportunity to express that thanks and appreciation and to more appropriately recognize our donors.”

“The person that walked in these doors my freshman year is completely different than the person I am today. I will forever remember the impact this campus has had on my life. No words can explain the joy I feel when I tell people I attend VCSU! No words can explain how many tears I will shed when I have to leave. Valley City State University is a family and I know all of our alumni and friends of VCSU have felt it, whether it’s in your friends, your classmates, your teammates, your major, or our amazing faculty and staff that do more for us than we realize. This is my home and I love VCSU more than anything and I am proud to be a Viking for life” Phone-a-Thon Continued on Next Page...
