We know that learning through experiences - such as study abroad, research, internships, and more - prepares students for their careers. We’re committed to offering these experiences to all students, and especially in-state students who have financial need, by lowering financial barriers.

Studying abroad can be transformational, and Virginia Tech is committed to helping students cover the costs. Visit the Global Education office’s website to learn more about programs and costs or to meet with a peer adviser.

Research opportunities are essential for students. They get hands-on experience, learning from faculty members and tackling real-world problems. Visit the Office of Undergraduate Research website to learn more about financial support and opportunities across campus.

Paid internships help students gain real-world experiences in their chosen fields, and we know that internships help our graduates land their first jobs. Visit the Career and Professional Development website for more information.
