Global Education Office (GEO) Winter and Spring Scholarship Application

This application is for current VT students who are planning to study abroad in Winter and Spring 2023-24, including Spring Embedded programs. The committee considers not only financial need (both FAFSA-demonstrated and need that might be missed by the FAFSA), but also the quality of your motivation and the educational fit of the study abroad program.

*Graduate students and International students (who are already Virginia Tech students!) can apply to this scholarship. Note: this scholarship is NOT for international students who are trying to get accepted into Virginia Tech.

• You can apply even if you’re not yet sure about your study abroad plans.

Eligibility requirements:
GPA 2.5 or above
Enrollment in credit bearing programs where the credits are needed to apply to your degree
Enrollment in a program where tuition is paid to VT (Third Party and Autonomous Study programs are not eligible)
PSI recipients do not qualify for spring or fall programs as this scholarship would be subtracted from your PSI funding. You can however apply for the GEO scholarship for summer programs
Project GO participants are not eligible (as the Project GO program fee is already paid for)
Full-time enrollment (except for summer)

• Fall semester: 12 VT credits minimum
• Winter session: 3 VT credits minimum (plus 3 VT credits minimum in fall)
• Spring semester: 12 VT credits minimum
• Short term spring: 3 VT credits minimum (plus 3 VT credits minimum in spring)
• Summer terms: 3 VT credits minimum

IMPORTANT: Do not wait till last minute: we cannot accept applications past the deadline as Scholarship Central locks down and we can’t manually override the system!
