Austin Michelle Cloyd Social Justice Scholarship

The Austin Michelle Cloyd Social Justice Scholarship is offered by VT Engage: The Center for Leadership and Service Learning at Virginia Tech. This scholarship provides financial assistance to exceptional undergraduate and graduate Virginia Tech students to offset the costs of social justice-focused leadership building extracurricular activities that may not otherwise be accessible due to financial limitations. The range of acceptable activities for scholarship application include, but are not limited to, internships, study abroad programs, alternative breaks, co-ops, apprenticeships, fellowships, service-learning, and undergraduate research. Scholars are selected based on their commitment to social justice, demonstrated activism and leadership capabilities. Past Cloyd Scholars have made strides in serving marginalized groups while furthering their awareness of the wider world and strengthening their potential for compassionate leadership. All current full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate students at Virginia Tech are invited to apply.
