Solyo tracks 3 awards restricted to Virginia students. 2 of them are formula-based programs where meeting the criteria and filing on time is what gets the money, not winning a competition, 2 need no essay at all, and the lightest application here is Virginia Guaranteed Assistance Program (VGAP), at roughly 1 hour of work. Every listing below shows the estimated odds of winning and the hours the application takes, so the list can be worked in order of what actually pays.
Awards limited to Virginia students (3)
Ordered by expected payoff per hour of application work, so the awards worth doing first sit at the top.
These carry no state restriction, so they are open to Virginia students alongside everything above. They compete against a national field, which is why the odds run longer.
Which of these does your student actually qualify for?
Odds only matter once eligibility is settled. Solyo checks 20+ criteria against your student's real profile and ranks what is left by what it pays per hour.
Odds shown are Solyo estimates modelled from each award's published eligibility and requirements, not reported acceptance rates. Award details are verified against each official scholarship page; deadlines and requirements can change between cycles, so confirm on the provider's site before applying.
