US based students can apply for the Presidential Scholarship Initiative (PSI), as part of which, all eligible candidates can avail a full coverage of tuition, fees & the costs associated with room & board.
International students, however, can apply for general scholarships & other financial aid programs at Virginia Tech that cover a portion of the tuition fees.
