  • 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.
