## About this scholarship

The Future Workforce Grant, administered by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, is designed to support students who are pursuing non-traditional educational pathways. The program is specifically for individuals enrolling in short-term certificate programs, industry credential courses, or other workforce training programs. To apply for this state-funded financial aid opportunity, students must utilize the West Virginia Student Aid Management System, known as the WVSAM student portal. Applicants will need to create an account, verify their information, and submit the appropriate application through this online system. While many state financial aid options are tied to the FAFSA, students should monitor the portal to ensure they complete all specific state requirements for this workforce grant. Funding from this program helps cover the costs associated with completing these rapid-credential and career-focused training programs. For current deadlines and application dates, see the official page for current dates.
