    About this scholarship

    The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission offers the WV STEM Scholarship to support students pursuing careers in engineering, science, or technology. The program is designed for academically talented individuals who want to study these fields within West Virginia. Recipients are chosen based on their academic qualifications and their demonstrated interest in STEM disciplines.

    The scholarship provides up to $3,000 per academic year to help cover educational expenses. To be considered for this funding, students must submit their application by the March 1 deadline. Because the provider coordinates this program alongside other financial aid opportunities, applicants are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to establish their overall eligibility for state and federal assistance. Financial aid advisors are available through the commission to assist students with both the scholarship application and the FAFSA submission process.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
