CFWV (College for West Virginia) scholarships are for homeschooled students too! If your student plans to pursue scholarships, don’t wait until he or she is a senior. Instead, begin planning in the early high school years, as requirements may be different for homeschooled students.
Do you have a student who wants to earn a certificate or associate degree in a high-demand field? Perhaps you have a student who wants to major in education, nursing, or a STEM field? There are special scholarships in West Virginia for each of those majors.
CollegeForWV.com offers free webinars explaining these scholarships and programs – along with many other helpful resources. If you miss one of the webinars, you can view a replay on their YouTube page.
