Our Mission
The Southern Virginia Higher Education Foundation is the fundraising-arm of the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center. With the generosity of donors and fundraising events, these proceeds fuel student scholarships, faculty support programs, and areas of greatest need within the Center. The SVHEF is dedicated to opening doors and creating opportunities for curious minds in our community
– one class and one donation at a time.
