Departmental Scholarships for Entering Students
All Virginia Tech applicants indicating statistics as an intended major are automatically considered by the Department of Statistics for all scholarships which the department has the authority to award. Any scholarship awards are contingent on your applying for and being offered admission to Virginia Tech. Awards are based on information provided to Virginia Tech on your application for admission. All scholarship funds are credited toward your tuition bills during the freshman year provided you remain a statistics major for the entire academic year. Scholarship recipient(s) will be notified in late March or early April.
To receive any financial aid while at Virginia Tech, you need to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA, http://www.ed.gov/ or http://www.fafsa.com/), and have the results submitted to Virginia Tech (Federal ID Number 003754).
Departmental Scholarships for Returning Students
All returning statistics majors are automatically considered for departmental scholarships. Generally referred to as “Best in Class” Awards, these awards are based on both overall and in-major GPA’s. The recipients are the best student(s) in each class (rising sophomore, junior, senior). All scholarship funds are credited toward your tuition bills provided you remain a statistics major during the entire academic year the award is given.
ALL AWARDS ARE BASED ON THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS.
