The 2022 Virginia State University Endowed Scholarship Recipient

We congratulate Ayanna! She was selected to receive this award by faculty at Matoaca High School and VSU.

The Virginia State University (VSU) Endowed Scholarship fund was established in 2011 in memory of our namesake, the Late Martha Mason Hill, to fund scholarships for Chesterfield County students attending the university. Mrs. Hill was employed at VSU for 40 years, retiring in 1970. While working there, she helped her seven daughters and the two granddaughters she raised attend the institution, then Virginia State College.

Ayanna graduated from Matoaca High School in May 2022. She is currently enrolled at VSU and is majoring in biology. While at Matoaca High School, Ayanna was a cheerleader for both the school’s basketball team and the football team for four years. She was a member of the outdoor and the indoor track teams from 2018 to 2022.
