Graduating high school with a 3.0 GPA or better? You may be eligible. Cash in on all your hard work with the Promise Scholarship – and get thousands of dollars every year to pursue your college dream in West Virginia. The Promise Scholarship is a merit-based financial aid program for West Virginia high school graduates planning to attend one of the state’s public or independent two- or four-year institutions.
Students who achieve certain academic requirements can receive annual awards to cover tuition and mandatory fees. Awards are contingent upon annual funding of the program by the West Virginia State Legislature. You are required to submit a FAFSA by the deadline in addition to the application. Additional documentation may be required for your application. The amount of a Promise Scholarship awarded in combination with aid from all other sources shall not exceed the cost of the education at the institution the recipient is attending.
