The West Virginia Nursing Scholarship program, administered by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, supports students pursuing specific nursing credentials. Eligible applicants must be enrolled in a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) program, a Registered Nurse (RN) program, an LPN teaching certificate program, or a master's or doctoral nursing program. Recipients must agree to fulfill a service obligation by working in the nursing field within West Virginia after completing their studies.
To apply for this financial aid opportunity, students must submit their applications through their West Virginia Student Aid Management (WVSAM) account. The application window is open each award year from April 15th through June 1st. While the scholarship is state-funded, applicants should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to establish their overall financial aid profile. LPN and pre-RN students expecting to reach their program midpoint in the upcoming academic year must apply during the standard window, while post-RN and graduate students can apply at any point in their studies.
