COE & MSE Scholarships

MSE will use the same application to award MSE Scholarships. However, MSE has developed a review process that stands apart from the COE review process. Please apply even if you do not meet the COE requirements for a scholarship. 

We are now accepting applications for College of Engineering merit scholarships for the 2015-2016 academic year.  Applicants must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 or higher by the end of spring 2015 to be competitive for scholarships.

Please go to http://www.eng.vt.edu/academics/scholarships_ugrad.php to view the application instruction memo (which has a link to the on-line application).

Please note: 

Regarding references:  choose a Virginia Tech faculty member, TA, or staff member who knows you.  No letters are submitted; you are simply providing the name of references who may be contacted later by your department.  Reference must be VT employee.

The scholarship site will time out after 60 minutes.  Please make sure to save your application periodically to avoid losing information.

Essays:

May be attached after the application is complete, or at the same time. 

Essays must be limited to one typed page, double-spaced, 10 pt. Times New Roman font. The essay topic is: Discuss the technology of the 21^st century that you hope to be involved in developing.  (Depth of thinking, clarity & conciseness will be considered when reviewing your essay.)

Once you save your application you can re-enter the site and view/edit it again until the deadline to submit.  Thus, if you want to “check and see” if your application was saved, log back into the site.

Deadline for submitting complete applications:  11:59:59pm, March 2, 201.
