The Virginia-Carolina’s Scholarships Foundation Trust has established a leadership based scholarship program to assist students who live in Virginia, North Carolina, or South Carolina and plan to enroll as a full-time undergraduate student in the Virginia Tech College of Engineering for the entire upcoming academic year.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals.
