My daughter was also offered a $5000 scholars scholarship but can’t find any information. Does anyone know if this is for one year or renewable with appropriate GPA?
I can’t figure out anything about my son’s either.
@MESMES @rugbymom2 @mom2cats Funny you all ask about that info. I checked last years merit scholarship names people received on CC and the only one I could find on VA Tech website was the Davenport Leadership for Engr. All the others could not find.
BTW are your kids OOS or IS?
@red98blue My DD (Provost Achievement Scholarship at $7000/year) is OOS
