Morgantown Campus Student Scholarships

Application Processes

How to apply and deadlines depend on the type of scholarship.

  • For most institutional scholarships, no separate application is required. Students are automatically considered for eligibility if they are admitted by the deadline(s) listed for the scholarship. For scholarships that list grade point average (GPA) and test score requirements, both criteria must be met. Pay careful attention when reviewing the information for each scholarship on our website. WVU must receive the information by the deadline for consideration.

  • For other scholarships — such as departmental, Leadership, Dependent Employee, and Promise Scholarship — do require additional information. Students should check with the department or scholarship provider for deadlines.

In most cases, students receiving in-state tuition rates through equivalency are not eligible for merit scholarships — including, but not limited to, programs such as Ohio Reciprocity.
