Sam and Priscilla McCall Scholarship

Sam and Priscilla McCall Scholarship

The Sam and Priscilla McCall Endowed Scholarship is awared with a preference for students from Tazewell or Buchanan Counties in Virginia. If no students are identified from those areas, then preference is given to students who come from economically disadvantaged or low-income backgrounds.

The scholarship is made possible by the late Sam McCall and his wife, Priscilla, of Greensboro, North Carolina. Sam McCall grew up in rural Southwest Virginia, where access to medical care was limited. He attended Virginia Tech from 1954 to 1955 and had a successful career in sales. Together, he and Priscilla owned and operated a chain of gift boutiques throughout the Southeast United States.
