Scholarship
The VTAA-SA has set-up a scholarship fund to benefit a San Antonio area freshman student who will attend the Virginia Tech in the fall. The scholarship has been established in memory of Caitlin Hammaren, a victim of the tragic event on April 16, 2007. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to the scholarship fund, please contact a chapter officer.
