The Physics Department at Virginia Tech is extremely fortunate to have many generous benefactors who have endowed the scholarships and awards listed below for our undergraduate and graduate students so that they may better concentrate on their respective studies and research.

The recipients are chosen each year by a departmental committee of faculty members, and the awards are presented at an Awards Ceremony in April.

The entering freshman need not fill out any kind of application to be eligible for a scholarship. Once you have been accepted into Virginia Tech and have declared yourself a physics major, you are automatically considered as a candidate.

This year's Awards Ceremony was held on Friday, April 4, 2008 in the GLC Multipurpose Room where a record number of students received awards and fellowships. We will report on the event here soon.
