When and how will I receive my scholarship?

Scholarship Awards

We begin awarding freshman scholarships in October for the spring semester, and early December for the following fall semester. Once scholarship offers begin, they continue on a rolling basis approximately three weeks after receiving an admissions decision. Admitted students can view their scholarship information and accept or decline offers in the WVU Portal.

Submitting External Scholarships

If you receive a scholarship from a non-WVU source, such as a community organization, you can submit the scholarship to WVU by sending a check payable to West Virginia University to the WVU Hub. How to send scholarship checks to WVU

Scholarship Disbursement

About one week before the start of each semester, your scholarship disburses into your student account in increments of 50% for the fall semester and 50% for the spring semester. Any funds remaining after all University charges are paid are refunded to you according to the method you choose. Please review the options at studentaccounts.wvu.edu/refunds.
