On December 9, 2011, the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges (VFIC) and Norfolk Southern announced the winners of the 2011-12 VFIC/Norfolk Southern Scholarship Program competition.
Randolph-Macon College student
Conor David Moe ’13 is one of three award recipients. Moe, from Ellicott City, Maryland, is a
economics/business major.
Administered by the VFIC, these scholarships are made possible by gifts from Norfolk Southern, one of the nation’s premier transportation companies.
Recipients are selected in a statewide competition open to first-semester junior-year applicants from all 15 member colleges and universities in the VFIC consortium who are seeking degrees in economics, business, finance, accounting or related fields and interested in careers in a corporate setting. The award provides $10,000 in scholarship funding: $5,000 for each student’s junior year and an additional $5,000 for their senior year, contingent on continuing to meet or exceed the original scholarship requirements.
Founded in 1952, the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges is a nonprofit fund-raising partnership supporting the programs and students of 15 leading private colleges in the Commonwealth: Bridgewater College, Emory & Henry College, Hampden-Sydney College, Hollins University, Lynchburg College, Mary Baldwin College, Marymount University, Randolph College,
Randolph-Macon College, Roanoke College, Shenandoah University, Sweet Briar College, University of Richmond, Virginia Wesleyan College, and Washington and Lee University.
