When you hear Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, do you think that means that you have to join the military? Well, think again! You do not have to enroll in ROTC (Reserves Officers' Training Corps) to be a part of the corps of cadets at Virginia Tech.

And, you may also be eligible for some scholarships if you plan to enroll in the corps of cadets program. - Emerging Leader Scholarship (no military obligation) Deadline: January 15

1.) Make sure you complete the FAFSA (even if you don't think you will qualify for aid based on the FAFSA, some of our scholarships use the FAFSA.) by March 1.
2.) Check out Virginia Tech's General Scholarship Application and our Scholarship Gateway at www.finaid.vt.edu
