VFRW Scholarship Award Presented at the 2007 VFRW Convention in Richmond - April 2007

Congratulations to Christy Huffman, recipient of a $1,000 scholarship from the VFRW! 

A sophomore at Virginia Tech Christy already has a long list of experience and achievement and was chosen for being a promising young Republican woman with the interest, experience and talent to become a superior future leader.

  1. Named "Young Environmentalist of the Year" by the Harrisonburg PBS station, WVPT.  The award was earned due to her campaign to preserve wetlands on the grounds of a local middle school.  Photos were taken of the wetlands and she and her team submitted recommendations on how to preserve and protect them for both environmental and educational purposes.
  2. Named 2003 “Young Agriculturalist of the Year”. This award was based on promoting agriculture among students in Future Farmers of America.
  3. Invited to join the National Society of High School Scholars, each successive year during her high school tenure.
  4. An invited lifetime member of The National Society of Collegiate Scholars.  The invitation was based on her grade point average.
  5. Currently, a member of Student Government for Virginia Tech and College Republicans
  6. Wearing those hats she headed a large campaign to “Get Out The Vote” in 2005/06. This effort brought absentee ballots to various classes and encouraged students to get out and vote.
