The Yeardley Love Endowment will forever honor the legacy of Yeardley Love (’10) as a student, athlete and active member of the Delta Chi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta. The chapter, alumnae and friends created the endowed fund which provides scholarships, program support and alumnae grants.
The Yeardley Love Scholarship for initiated Delta Chi sisters remembers Yeardley’s life and honors her character and involvement in the University. Initiated members, collegian and alumnae, of the Delta Chi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta may apply. New members of the Delta Chi Chapter may also apply, provided they are initiated by the application deadline.
The Yeardley Love Program Grant helps to promote educational programs around Grounds that focus on violence and violence prevention.
And, in times of crisis and extraordinary circumstances, the Yeardley Love Alumnae Grant assists Theta sisters when they have overwhelming health and/or personal expenses or when their communities experience natural disasters.
A contribution to the Yeardley Love Endowment counts toward one’s overall and annual giving to the University and the Capital Campaign. The fund is managed by the Alumni Association’s UVA Fund, and every contribution receives a mailed gift receipt for tax purposes.
If this is your reunion year (Reunions Weekend is June 7-9, 2013), a reunion gift to the University may be designated to the Yeardley Love Endowment.
Thank you for your continued support of the Delta Chi Chapter! Please encourage your classmates to join you in making a gift to this important endowment. Please make a gift today.
The first scholarships and grants will be awarded during the 2013-14 academic year. Applications must be submitted no later than midnight, Sunday March 3, 2013. The committee will notify the winner by April 3, 2013, the Delta Chi Chapter founding date.
