Opportunities Fellowships and tuition scholarships Financial support is available in the form of fellowships, assistantships, and tuition scholarships through Virginia Tech, as well as from state and regional programs such as the Southern Regional Education Board Fellowships, the Commonwealth Fellowship program, and the State Graduate Dean's Fellowship program.
Private fellowships are also available.
Tuition scholarships are offered by the Graduate School and teaching and research assistantships are offered by the academic departments. All eight colleges offer minority student support. There are also opportunities available in the university's interdisciplinary research centers. For example, in its first six months, the Center for Power Electronic Systems awarded 19 fellowships, including six targeted to students from under represented populations. There is a partial list of such centers at The Office of Interdiciplinary Programs web site.
