Centennial Leadership Award

Funded by the German Club Alumni Foundation, Inc. through Virginia Tech, the Centennial Leadership Scholarship is awarded to rising juniors who exhibit leadership and service at the collegiate level, while also maintaining high standards of academic achievement. The scholarship is renewable for a second academic year at the same amount if students maintain a 3.0 GPA and continue to be enrolled full-time at Virginia Tech. A letter of recommendation is required for the application process. Changes in funding may cause VT to replace this award with another award for the same amount.
