Now that you have completed and submitted your application, are you wondering how to you are going to get the loot to pay for college?
If so, then the best thing to do - no matter if you think you will qualify for financial aid - is to complete the FAFSA. It's available now and you can use estimates to complete it. I know it seems like a chore, but it should be worth it in the end.
At Virginia Tech many of our scholarships start with two things: a completed FAFSA and the General Scholarship Application. The priority deadline for both at Virginia Tech is March 1.
Visit the Scholarships and Financial Aid website to read all about the different types of aid at Virginia Tech. There's a handy financial aid estimator to help you estimate your eligibility on their site as well. Also, you can set up a free account to view the Scholarships Gateway at Virginia Tech to see what specific scholarships you would like to throw your name in the hat for.
For those of you who wish to join the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, there are a few scholarship opportunities for you and only you! Keep in mind that just because you join the VTCC it doesn't mean that you have to make a commitment to the military. You can enroll in ROTC, but you don't have to in order to join the VTCC.

Best wishes to all of you who did apply to Virginia Tech (freshman application deadline was Jan 15). I know waiting for your admission decision is a pain, but at least you can pass the time with things like filling out the FAFSA, right?!
