The Foundation began in 1985 as a committee of the Speech-
Language-Hearing Association of Virginia (SHAV). The purpose
of the committee was to raise and award scholarship funds for graduate studies in the field of communication disorders. A year later it was established as an independent Foundation with a Board of Trustees and 501 (c)(3) status.
Two student scholarships are awarded annually to graduate students in speech-language pathology or audiology studying in Virginia. Additionally, a scholarship is awarded annually to a hearing-impaired Virginian graduating from high school and entering a program of higher education or vocational training.
The Foundation also administers the Martha Mullins-Callendar Award, recognizing leaders in the field of communication disorders.
