BLACKSBURG – Bud Foster has committed three decades of his life to the Virginia Tech football program and to the university, and now he has decided to commit more than just his football expertise, as the Virginia Tech Athletics Department announced today that the longtime defensive coordinator has agreed to commit $100,000 through his Lunch Pail Defense Foundation to endow a scholarship for athletics.
The scholarship – called “The Bud Foster Lunch Pail Defense Foundation Athletic Scholarship” – will be awarded annually to a football student-athlete, with preference given to a first-generation college student who shows a demonstrated financial need.
