Paying for College

Dream first and worry about tuition last. We offer a quality education at a great price, and aid programs that make our price tag even better.


Scholarships

Hard work pays off. Literally. We award $48 million in scholarships each year. Many West Virginia students also qualify for the West Virginia PROMISE Scholarship. And the best part about scholarships? You never have to pay them back.

  • Freshman Scholarships — It's easy to apply for our merit-based scholarships. Just submit your admissions application, test scores and transcript to get started. We offer scholarships to both West Virginia residents and out-of-state students.
  • College and Department Scholarships — Additional scholarships are available for students in certain majors.
  • Transfer Scholarships — Scholarships are available for incoming transfer students with 15-78 transferable credit hours.
  • International Scholarships — We welcome scholars from around the world.
  • RaiseMe - Start earning scholarships for college. The WVU RaiseMe program assigns monetary values to your high school achievements.
