The West Virginia University - Foundation Scholarship is available to WV resident students who attend and graduate from a West Virginia high school. Students must be admitted to WVU as first-time freshmen by January 16, 2024. Home-schooled students who are WV residents must be home-schooled for at least their senior year to be eligible to apply. Students who meet the admission deadline will be considered for scholarships based on the submission of new high school transcripts or ACT/SAT scores if the information is updated on their WVU student record. This scholarship covers the cost of attendance as determined by financial aid for up to four undergraduate years or completion of a bachelor's degree - whichever comes first, plus a one-time $4,500 stipend for study abroad or academic enhancement. Students receiving the Promise Scholarship will receive the Foundation Scholarship less the Promise Scholarship amount. Please visit the scholarship's website and contact the Office of Admissions for more information and inquiries about the application.
