Financial Aid
Qualifying international students are eligible for a WVU Tech Nonresident Freshman Scholarship or a Nonresident STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Scholarship. Depending upon the scholarship award (awards are described in the chart below) international students can realize one-year savings of $2,000 to $8,100 (USD) and four-year savings of $8,000 to $32,400 (USD).
No separate application form is required for these scholarships. International recipients must:
- Meet stipulated admission requirements for their academic degree program(s), if any
- Complete at least 24 credits of approved, degree-relevant WVU Tech course work each year.
- Achieve overall WVU Tech GPA of: 3.0 minimum – Level 1 Nonresident Freshman and STEM Scholarship recipients; 2.75 minimum – Levels 2 and 3 Nonresident Freshman Scholarship recipients
Both scholarship programs apply to a maximum of four consecutive academic years. Only the WVU Tech Campus Provost can grant exceptions to this policy. Appeals for exceptions must be submitted at least 60 days before the requested exception is to become effective.
