A college wants to compensate incoming in-state students to delay their inaugural date and not attend the campus for up to a year.
Virginia Tech budgeted $3.3 million to squelch the anticipated 7,500-student freshman class, which officials have stated would burden the town. The university has noted this class would be its biggest. Three options are available students can select from: Option 1: Guaranteed Admissions Program GAP2020 – Take a gap year, with guaranteed admission to Virginia Tech in fall 2020. This option permits you to take a gap year and obtain an additional $1,000 scholarship inexhaustible for up to four years. You’ll now have the chance to work, travel, join in a service project, or any other undertaking that sits well with you. We will honor your present Virginia Tech scholarships and give you precedence for on-campus housing next year when you enroll at Virginia Tech.
Option 2: Guaranteed Admission Transfer Program GRANT2020 – Wait a year to enroll at Virginia Tech while taking classes at your community college. Select this option and save your initial day on campus for fall 2020.
