CHARLESTON — As the academic year progresses, high school seniors in West Virginia are reminded that the deadlines to apply for crucial financial aid programs are fast approaching. Students looking to benefit from the merit-based Promise Scholarship, which offers $5,500 annually, must submit their applications by March 1. This scholarship is designed to support students who demonstrate academic excellence and plan to pursue higher education in the state.
In addition, the need-based West Virginia Higher Education Grant Program, which provides $3,400 each year, has an application deadline of April 15. This grant aims to assist students from low-income families in affording their college education.
Both programs are vital for helping students finance their education and achieve their academic goals. Seniors are encouraged to take action promptly to ensure they meet these important deadlines and secure the financial support they need for the upcoming academic year.
