About the Scholarship
On May 2, 2010, our friend and brother, Will Sheffey, lost a long battle with brain cancer. In Will’s memory, brother Brad Welles, lead a charge to establish a memorial scholarship in Will’s name through the School of Business at VCU. Through the caring hearts and generosity of many of Will’s family, friends, and Kappa Sigma brothers, fundraised over $10,000 to add to the endowment. Since that time, the fund has increased through additional donations and investment growth.
AN EASY WAY TO MAKE A GIFT
When Brother Will Sheffey passed, we established a scholarship with VCU’s School of Business to memorialize him. Those wishing to continue to honor Will Sheffey, we now have a more streamlined way to submit a tax-deductible gift.
