Students and alumni of the Via Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech are invited to keep in touch and up to date on VT CEE news.
Last night we had the honor of recognizing our Via Scholars. These scholarships are among the most competitive in the country and we are proud to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of each of these students!
This year, the CEE Alumni Board Scholarship supported 15 students — including seniors Garrett Beggs and Leah Goulet — with more than $100,000 in scholarships. Their stories are a powerful reminder that when alumni give back, future engineers are empowered. news.vt.edu/articles/2025/10…
