Scholarship Support Mentoring

What is Scholarhip Support?

Scholarship Support mentoring (previously HUB) is an outreach service for students receiving certain scholarships at Virginia Tech. Each student in this program is receiving an annually renewable scholarship, but they must meet certain requirements to continue renewing the scholarship every year. Since each scholarship may have different requirements, it is important to know what is expected of you. The Scholarship Support mentoring program is here to help!

This is not a program that you apply to join. Students are automatically assigned to the Scholarship Support mentoring program if they are receiving certain scholarships from the Office of University Scholarships and Financial Aid. We will reach out to you by email if you qualify. This program is a collaboration between the Office of University Scholarships and Financial Aid and Academic Advising Initiatives at Virginia Tech.

What are the benefits of Scholarship Support?

• Opportunities to meet with Scholarship Support mentors! Scholarship Support’s student mentors are current Virginia Tech students who are here to help you understand your scholarship requirements and serve as a resource to support your academics. They are not your academic advisor, but they are here to support your success.
• Access to the Scholarship Support Canvas site, which includes information about scholarship requirements, frequently asked questions, and helpful resources for academic, personal, and professional development.
• Reminders about important dates and deadlines that keep you on track with your scholarship requirements. We will send emails, texts, and post announcements on our Canvas site to help you stay informed and ahead of your deadlines.
• Invitations to participate in exclusive Scholarship Support events. We will let you know when we are offering workshops to enhance your academic and professional growth and fun events to help you celebrate your achievements!

How do I contact a Scholarship Support Mentor?

Students are not assigned to a specific mentor. Meaning any Scholarship Support mentor can assist you! You can email any of our mentors directly. Their email addresses are available on the Meet the Mentors webpage. Please include Scholarship Support in the subject line of your email to help our student mentors keep track of your message.
