The Frank B. Rocovich Scholarship was set up in memory of Frank B. Rocovich, who served as VCOM-Virginia’s Activities Coordinator and worked closely to support the Via Wellness program to promote healthy minds, bodies and spirits for everyone at VCOM. Frank was also the son of VCOM founding chairman John G. Rocovich, Jr., JD LLM, and his wife, board member Sue Ellen Rocovich, DO, PhD, and is remembered warmly for his interactions around campus and commitment to VCOM. The scholarship supports students who lead in providing wellness activities for their fellow students, in support of "the whole person" wellness philosophy of osteopathic medicine, and actively participate in the Via Wellness program at VCOM.

The William G. Anderson, DO, Scholarship was established by VCOM to honor the outstanding professional and public career of VCOM’s Founding Board of Director, Dr. William G. Anderson. His career included roles as a civil rights leader, osteopathic physician, surgeon, educator and hospital administrator. This scholarship recognizes an exceptional student at VCOM at each of the four VCOM campuses who demonstrate leadership in supporting a diverse student body and principles and practices of osteopathic medicine. The student must also be fully committed to addressing the educational, societal and health needs of richly diverse populations.
