Five students receive scholarships funded by employee gifts
The 2025 Employees’ Spouse and Dependent Scholarship awarded scholarships to five students for the 2025-26 academic year thanks to the generosity of Virginia Tech employees and donors.
An annual scholarship reception is held each fall semester to recognize the awarded students, their families, and the donors. This year’s reception in August provided an opportunity for the students and their families to meet each other and express their gratitude.
The Employees’ Spouse and Dependent Scholarship is only available to first-year students or first-year transfers of spouses or dependents of employees.
Since the scholarship was established in 2000, more than 275 students have received assistance. Each year, the amount and number of recipients differ, based on the available funds. This year, 18 students submitted applications for the scholarship.
The scholarship is funded mainly by employees, but anyone is welcome to make a gift. Visit the Employees’ Spouse and Dependent Scholarship webpage to learn more about the program, including how to apply for assistance or to give to the fund through payroll deduction.
