Applying to GSA

We are thrilled that you are considering applying to the Virginia Governor’s School for Agriculture at Virginia Tech!

To begin the application process, rising juniors and seniors who are interested in the Virginia Governor's School for Agriculture at Virginia Tech should contact their school counselor, or their school or county gifted and talented coordinator. These individuals are the best equipped to answer questions regarding the application process. 

At this time Virginia Tech, the department of Agricultural, Leadership, and Community Education, and the Virginia Governor’s School for Agriculture does not participate in the application process including application submission, review, and selection. The Virginia Governor’s School for Agriculture is a program sponsored by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE). 

As this is a VDOE sponsored program, the entire application process from submission to selection is facilitated by VDOE. Schools and/or counties will submit applications on behalf of the student.  

The deadline for application submission to the VDOE is February 25, 2024. However, each school or country has different deadlines and criteria/procedures for applying. 

For more information, you can look over the VDOE Summer Residential Governor’s School website to access the application.
