ODU Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship
There are many indicators of a university’s maturity: expanded degree programs, growth in both facilities and enrollment, and an ever-increasing academic reputation. Another sure sign of its “coming of age” is the growing number of legacies – the children of alumni who have followed in their families’ academic footsteps. To celebrate this coming of age, the ODUAA has established its Legacy Scholarship. The newest of the ODUAA scholarship program, the Legacy Scholarship was established in 2014 is aimed at those students with family history embedded in the University in hopes that they will continue their academic journeys at ODU.
