Awards and Scholarships

One of the ways that the College of Business and Economics moves mountains for students (B&E) is by helping them fund their education. The College provides more than $100,000 in financial assistance to B&E Juniors for use in the senior year of study. In addition, West Virginia University offers a substantial amount of scholarship aid through various departments and agencies of the University. See SCHOLARS' OFFICE website for additional information. Please check out available scholarships at the Government Finance Officers Association, which offers several scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate students in several disciplines.

Awards vary widely and are based on criteria such as: grade point average, legal residency, class (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior), financial need, and other factors.To be eligible for consideration for B&E awards and scholarships, the student must be formally admitted to the College of Business & Economics through the B&E application and admittance process.

Academic Departmental Awards' Representatives (see list below) provide award applications upon request to students. The completed application may require a current resume. In addition, since many awards require demonstration of financial need, the College of Business and Economics recommends that the student file a FAFSA during both the sophomore and the junior years.
