NC Triad Chapter Student Scholarship
Dear Future Hokie,
On behalf of the N.C. Triad Chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association, congratulations on being accepted to Virginia Tech! Admission becomes more competitive each year, so this is an achievement of which you should be proud.
The N.C. Triad Chapter annually awards two scholarships to qualifying students from the Triad area who will be attending Virginia Tech. The scholarships are one year, minimum $2,000 non-renewable awards, and are applied directly toward the first year tuition costs.
The deadline for application is Jan. 1.
The applications will be reviewed and evaluated by a committee made up of local alumni. Each committee member will rank the applications based on a variety of factors provided in the application. A composite ranking will be compiled from the individual rankings, and the top five or six students will be contacted to participate in an interview. During the interview, the candidates will individually talk with committee members so that the committee can get to know each applicant on a more personal basis, and the student can have the opportunity to ask questions about Virginia Tech. The two scholarship recipients will then be selected from the interviewees.
If you haven't visited the Tech campus, we would encourage you to do so. Blacksburg is a two-hour trip from the Triad. The campus is relatively self-contained, and together with the town of Blacksburg, offers a wide range of academic, social, and recreational activities. Overall, Virginia Tech/Blacksburg is a stimulating place to live and study, and we are sure that you will enjoy your time there, as just about any Hokie alum will tell you.
Again, congratulations on your acceptance to Virginia Tech! We look forward to receiving your scholarship application. Please feel free to contact Linda (allenlvt@gmail.com) or Sam (sashby2@vt.edu) if you have any questions.
GO HOKIES!
