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 be successful as a student. This is why we are asking you to nominate an individual 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 2024 cohort by June 15, and they’ll receive a one-time monetary award of $2,000 in support of their academic journey, simply as a result of the kindness of your referral.* Thank you to our alumni who have made referrals!
