Top Facts
- Scholarships offers are made on an ongoing basis beginning approximately by December for the upcoming academic year.
- If a student's residency status changes after a scholarship offer has been made - or they are switched from paying non-resident to resident tuition and fees - the original aid offer will no longer be valid. The change in tuition and fees is a big reduction in educational costs. Students will be re-evaluated to determine aid eligibility. The impact of changing tuition and fee rates is explained under each scholarship.
- Scholarship amounts may be affected if students are receiving additional financial aid or assistance. See our Scholarship FAQs webpage for information on receiving multiple scholarships and/or aid.
- You may also qualify for other financial resources to assist with educational expenses. For priority consideration, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) prior to March 1. To receive a complete financial aid and scholarship offer from WVU as quickly as possible, we encourage students to file the FAFSA when it becomes available on October 1.
See our Scholarship FAQs for information on applying for scholarships, scholarship offers, summer, and more. See our Renewal Requirements webpage for information that institutional scholarship/grant recipients need to know about maintaining their scholarship for future academic years as well as deferral and leave of absence information.
