The above awards are renewable for up to 4 years. First time freshmen and transfer students with less than 30 credit hours must have at least a 3.0 gpa in the college level courses. GED recipients should have at least a combined score of 3100 (620 average), to be considered for freshmen scholarships. Students must meet the following renewal criteria:
Minimum of 30 completed credit hours per academic year (including summer term), and a 3.0 overall GPA.
Please Note: National ACT and SAT examination results only, residual examinations are not allowed (ACT Composite score, SAT Math and Reading only).
Transfer Student Scholarship
The award is renewable for 2-years based on student’s continuing status with a minimum of 30 completed credit hours per academic year including summer term and a 3.0 overall GPA.
All WVU Tech academic scholarships are tuition and programmatic fee specific. The ACT score considered is the composite score and SAT score counts for critical reading and mathematics. Scholarship funds will not be applied towards housing, books, or other fees. Full-time, degree seeking students can only receive one institutional academic scholarship. All students must be admitted on or prior to May 1st to be considered for academic scholarships. Only materials received on or prior to May 1 will be reviewed and no additional documents will be accepted for scholarship purposes after this date.
Transfer students eligibility will be reviewed with counting in-progress grades towards the total completed.
All students must submit final transcripts with grades by July1st. Student’s eligibility will be re-checked with information on the final transcript and scholarship offers may be rescinded if requirements are no longer met.
All recipients need to register during priority registration for all terms (prior to December 15 for spring and prior to May 15 for fall).
Nondegree, readmit, and second degree seeking students are not eligible for scholarships. Students in Career Technical Education and Regent’s bachelor programs and students in certificate programs do not qualify for the awards.
Students, who lose their scholarship during their career at WVU Tech, have the ability to earn the award back by meeting the renewal standards the next academic year. Each year a student is enrolled at WVU Tech takes away a year of eligibility for the scholarship.
