The United Company Foundation Endowed Scholarship was established in 2019 to benefit medical students who agree to practice medicine in Southwest Virginia.  The $50,000 Scholarships, available annually to two third or fourth year VCOM students, are part of a $1 Million Challenge Grant seeking to inspire others who work, live, and do business in the region to support this important program and enable students to return to practice medicine in medically underserved areas within a fifteen-county, three-city region.

The Randall "R.J." Kirk Endowed Medical Scholarship, established by Mr. Kirk, seeks to recognize and reward VCOM medical students who embody the values of osteopathic medicine and who graduated from a high school in southwest Virginia.  Additional preference is given to a student who received his or her undergraduate degree at Radford University.

The Dr. John A. Cifala and Laura C. Cifala Memorial Osteopathic Medical Fund was established by the family to honor the memory of Dr. Cifala, founding Board Member of VCOM, and his wife, Laura.  To support students of the VCOM-Virginia campus, the fund assists with travel costs for the VCOM-Virginia Student American Academy of Osteopathy (SA SAAO) to attend the national AAO convocations.

The Hughes Melton Scholarship for Rural Health, formed by the VCOM community to honor Dr. Melton, advocate for rural wellness and friend of the VCOM family, who passed away suddenly in 2019 from a tragic car accident.  Dr. Melton was highly recognized in the medical community and led efforts to bring more physicians to southwest Virginia.  To honor Dr. Melton's mission and passion for rural health, this scholarship is awarded to a VCOM-Virginia student from southwest Virginia who embodies this same commitment to rural healthcare.
