Earning a scholarship doesn't just help your bank account(or your parents'). This accomplishment puts a few feathers in your cap, by displaying your leadership and motivation, both of which appeal to graduate school admissions committees and employers. You've probably heard about how competitive the job market and graduate schools admissions have become. Its not an understatement.

Here are some of the scholarship and recognition awards sponsored by VCU. Check the web sites for deadlines and if you've missed the deadline for this year, just be ready for next year.
