I just wanted to let potential applicants know that WVU is very generous with merit scholarships if you have very good stats. My DD received an OOS university scholarship and a significant 4 year merit scholarship from her college (Eberly) that we didn’t expect. They totaled $9,000 per semester. She didn’t have to apply for either, they were automatically awarded.
Congrats!
Hi Kvillemom,
My son also received that OOS scholarship and will major in economics somewhere (not decided). I expect your daughter was admitted to many schools. Is she planning to attend WVU? If so is it largely for the scholarship/no debt? (I know WVU has great school spirit and Morgantown). Just trying to get an idea of what some others are considering…
Thanks
My son received $12,500. My brother, sister and nephew all went to WVU (loved it) and my son loved it after seeing it on Discovery day. They have a lot of energy there. Its a hard decision because my son’t stats can get him into higher tiered schools but they are more expensive without the scholarship. He’s an engineering major and was offered honors there. We are OOS
Our son received $12,000 annual renewable- great bc we are out of state
He is fall 2017
honors engineering at WVU

my hubs graduated wvu engineering '93

Amazing school spirit, friendly, and my hubs is a WVU Alumni.
It’s a for real place. West Virginia University researchers found and broke the VW emissions story. Their researchers came by my workplace several years ago while developing the early version of the tool used to make this discovery. They impressed me then, and I wasn’t surprised at the result.
The whispered story in the industry is that California Air Resources Board (CARB) is furious at having been outdone by some place like West Virginia U. CARB could do with a little less arrogance and a little more gratitude. Either way, well done WVU!
our son $12,000 annual from Eberly-awesome!
Hi WVUMountaineer - Did your son receive his Merit and Eberly scholarship this fall or was it for last year? Just trying to get an idea of when we should receive notification.
Hi Kvillemom - Did your daughter recive 9000 merit and 9000 from Eberly? Do you know approximately when she received notification of Eberly Scholarship?
My DD is so disappointed, we are OOS and WVU is her #1 choice. She has received the top Merit scholarships at every other school and WVU came in with the lowest offe, she has a full ride at a State school as well. We are waiting on departmental scholarships from each school and Eberly. Does anyone know if WVU performs a PJR on merit scholarships?
@LINYdad What were your daughter’s GPA and SAT/ACT scores? WVU is very generous with merit scholarships; hard to believe she was disappointed if receiving top merit money from other schools.
