<p>I can apply for a bunch of VT scholarships after freshman year though?</p>
<hr>
<p>Yes. I’m not 100% sure on how all scholarships at VT work, but as far as I know the majority follow the rule below:</p>
<p>"General Information
General Scholarships are awarded through the Office of University Scholarships and Financial Aid.</p>
<p>Criteria for these scholarships vary and may include but are not limited to geographic location as defined by high school attended and/or city, county, or state of residence, academic achievement and financial need.</p>
<p>The amount of the scholarship will vary with the average range between $1500 and $3000 for an academic year. General Scholarship awards are one-time annual awards. Student must apply each year to be considered."

<p>You may also want to take a look at grants on the lower left of the link I listed. </p>
<p>From my own personal experience, I received 2 scholarships Freshman year and a different one Sophomore year. VT has a strange way of giving out scholarships.</p>
<p>I will say you should sit down and figure out the full cost for this year/the future for both schools given the costs for each if you haven’t done so already.</p>
