How to Apply for WVU Scholarships
We automatically review your admissions application for merit scholarships.
No Separate Application
Most merit scholarships do not require a separate application. We automatically review your admissions application to see if you’re eligible.
Other WVU scholarships, such as leadership scholarships, require a separate application.
Deadline: August 1
First-time freshmen must be admitted by August 1 to be considered for merit scholarships. See our merit deadline FAQ for answers to common questions.
Other WVU scholarships may have different deadlines.
Update Your Scores
After you’re admitted, you may submit an updated GPA or test score through August 1.
GPA changes for admitted students require signing in to MyWVU Portal and submitting a GPA Update Change Request. A transcript with the updated GPA is required to request an evaluation.
To submit new scores, see our test score send options.
