## 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.

Financial aid advisors are available through the commission to assist students with both the scholarship application and the FAFSA submission process.
