Our program awards a scholarship to a qualified applicant who demonstrates a commitment to serving populations that are historically underprivileged or underserved by the field of genetic counseling. This scholarship provides either the equivalent of in-state tuition for a student who is not a Virginia resident, or a 50% reduction of in-state tuition for a student who is a Virginia resident. This cycle, the scholarship is open to those who demonstrate a commitment to serving populations that are historically underprivileged or underserved by the field of genetic counseling. Students will be asked to reflect on this information if they are selected for a program interview. Students who believe they qualify for the scholarship can use both tracks when ranking VCU via the NMS.
