Fraser signed a Division I National Letter of Intent to play lacrosse for VMI in the  coming year. A three-sport athlete at FUMA in football, track, and lacrosse, Fraser also achieved Dean's List status both of his years at the Academy. Fraser attended Douglas Freeman High School in Richmond his freshman and sophomore years and was named to the first team All-Colonial District football team as a tight end and the academic all-district team in 2005.

A member of the National Honor Society, Fraser was named a National Merit Scholar based on his SAT scores and gained acceptance to the Institute Honors Program at VMI. After a written and interview-based selection process, Fraser was designated an Institute Scholar by VMI and selected to receive the Institute Scholarship, a four-year merit-based award. Fraser plans to major in Business and Economics.

The Institute Scholar program at Virginia Military Institute is competitive and recipients are selected on the basis of academic and intellectual achievement and promise, demonstrated leadership, personal integrity, and qualities of selfless service to his or her community. Recipients are among the top students in their high schools, with outstanding grades and standardized test scores, and have been involved in many school and community activities. Fraser will join a select group of about 35 cadets at VMI who receive their college education for free due to the prestigious Institute Scholar program.

Fork Union Military Academy is well-known for the many athletes who receive athletic scholarships to top college programs, but less recognized are the many academic achievements of FUMA cadets. In 2008 alone, the school saw a record eight appointments awarded to FUMA cadets by the US service academies, institutions regarded as the most selective academic programs in the nation, accepting as few as 10% of those who seek admission. Each year, the small graduating class at FUMA of just over 100 cadets typically garners a total of $3 million to $4 million in total scholarship awards.

Dan Thompson, FUMA's Director of Communications, is fond of pointing out that nearly everyone in the nation has heard of Eddie George, the FUMA alumnus who played ten years in the NFL after winning the Heisman Trophy in college. "Eddie George is well-known as a FUMA guy who played football at Ohio State University. Very few realize that while Eddie played football, another FUMA alumnus, Dr. Ed Jennings, was the President of Ohio State University."
