Smithfield Foundation Scholarship

Funded by Virginia Tech, the Smithfield Foundation Scholarship is available for students who are dependent children or dependent grandchildren of a current full-time or retired employee of Smithfield Foods who also exhibit academic achievement, or demonstrated financial need as determined by the FAFSA. This scholarship may be renewed in the same amount in subsequent years if the student completes the application each year, and if the current employee maintains an eligible employment status with Smithfield Foods. This scholarship may be reduced or cancelled if your demonstrated financial need changes, or if you do not complete the required thank you letter. Instructions on completing the thank you letter requirement will be emailed to awardees in the summer prior to the beginning of the next academic year. Changes in funding may cause VT to replace this award with another award for the same amount.
