Alumni Referral Award

VCU alumni are out there making an impact — globally, nationally and right here in Richmond.

We deeply value VCU’s alumni community because you know best what it takes to succeed as a student. That’s why we’re asking you to nominate someone who has what it takes to become a catalyst for innovation and a leader in the data analytics revolution.

Refer a student to the VCU School of Business Master of Decision Analytics Weekend Program for the fall 2026 cohort by June 15, and they’ll receive a one-time $2,000 award to support their academic journey — simply as a result of your referral.* Thank you to our alumni who have already made referrals!
