Fairmont State University announced its new Access Scholarship on Monday, a program that will provide new full-time, in-state students with free tuition if their family income is below $70,000.
Fairmont State President Dr. Mike Davis told WV News that the scholarship was put in place to make higher education more attainable for West Virginians who need it most.
He added that between 15% and 17% of the university’s current student body has a family income under $70,000, though he expects that percentage to increase once the scholarship takes effect for new eligible students.
