Va Tech Emerging leaders scholarship

I got it also!! I never applied for it but do they just randomly give it to people who got accepted into the Corps of Cadets?
Last year there were enough donors to their foundation that every one of their incoming Freshman received it. This was stated during an Open House in April. Hopefully they are able to do the same this year.

My DS applied to VT but was waitlisted.
 
Does anyone know the timeline and the number they will give out?
Mom of current first year cadet here. No separate application. Last year all 397 cadets received the ELS scholarship, though I believe some received later notification than others. By the way, it's an incredible program, good luck to all about to begin this adventure!
 
An email we got yesterday with information about the Corps of Cadet program said there will be one more board for the ELS after May 1 with any remaining funds if fewer cadets accept their ELS offer than estimated.
 
We never received a notification of the award but it showed up in the financial aid portal.
 
Silly question--was it called an Emerging Leaders Scholarship? DS got something called the Julian Burruss Scholarship. Is this the same thing as ELS?
 
ELS IS $12,000 over four years. Check the amount he received

It's $1,500 for each semester this year. It doesn't state if it continues into follow-on years. Mathematically it works. I'll just ask DS to call and ask Fin Aid office. Thanks!

Yes it continues and as the years progress the sum increases accordingly. Or at least that is how my DS's worked.
 
I'm a VTCC student that does recruiting. From what I've heard, they plan on having scholarships for all incoming freshmen.
 
Just following up on this for future searches on this forum--VTCC gave every incoming Cadet the Emerging Leaders scholarship! Just another way our experience with VT and the Corps of Cadets has been wonderful so far!
