The Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University MIT Scholars program is open to students pursuing the Master of Information Technology (VT-MIT) degree. This scholarship supports students whose backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives contribute unique value to the VT-MIT program and the broader field of information technology. Applicants must be entering their first semester in the VT-MIT program in a fall or spring term, have received a degree-seeking admission to VT-MIT, and enroll in at least six MIT credit hours. Preference is given to students who demonstrate financial need. This scholarship may be combined with other scholarships or employer tuition assistance; however, the award may be reduced or canceled if a student cannot maintain eligibility or receives full tuition coverage from non-need-based external sources. Students may visit the scholarship's website or contact the Office of University Scholarships and Financial Aid for more information.
