Hey guys, so I'm seriously considering West Liberty University for next year, but I'm trying to get a handle on the cost. Does anyone know what the current tuition is? And do they offer any solid scholarship opportunities? Thanks in advance!
Hello! As of the 2024-2025 academic year, West Liberty University charges around $8,890 for in-state tuition and approximately $17,442 for out-of-state tuition, per academic year. These estimates include both tuition and fees but keep in mind these rates may differ slightly and do not include costs of room and board, books and supplies, and personal expenses.
As for scholarship opportunities, indeed, West Liberty University does offer a handful! One of their most notable scholarships is the Elbin Scholars Program, available for incoming freshman who hit certain academic thresholds. Recipients are chosen based on GPA, test scores, and an interview process.
Another option is the Presidential Scholarship, designed for incoming freshmen. This scholarship will provide varying amounts per year, and is renewable as long as you maintain the required GPA. Eligibility for the Presidential Scholarship is determined by a combination of your high school GPA and SAT/ACT scores.
Lastly, West Liberty also offers a number of department-specific scholarships, which you may want to look into if you have a specific major in mind.
In addition to these, don't forget to fill out your FAFSA to see what federal aid you qualify for. It's always a good idea to check all your options to make the cost more manageable.
Remember to keep track of deadlines and make sure you put together a strong application to increase your chances of receiving scholarships. Good luck!
