Established by a 20 million dollar donation from David Calhoun ’79, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boeing, the innovative Calhoun Discovery Program (CDP) at Virginia Tech engages electrical, computer, and industrial systems engineering students through reimagining education and providing a full tuition scholarship and $10,000 learning grant. From inspiring collaboration among students across various majors, to providing networking opportunities with faculty, industry, and non-profit partners, Calhoun scholars will graduate from Virginia Tech with the growth mindset and diverse tools needed to succeed in the real world while living out our motto Ut Prosim, “That I May Serve.”
