At Glenville State University (GSU), students will find a robust scholarship programme designed to make education more accessible and affordable. If you are preparing to apply for admission or already enrolled, here’s what you need to know about how the institution supports students through scholarships.

Priority Process & Eligibility

For new students seeking foundation-funded scholarships, priority consideration is given if you submit your admission application, high school transcript, and ACT/SAT scores (or GED/college transcripts) by February 15 prior to the academic year in question. glenville.edu
The review process is continuous, but early submission helps ensure awards are allocated before funds are exhausted. glenville.edu
Typically, awards range between US$2,000 to $3,000, depending on academic performance. glenville.edu

Full-time Enrollment & Award Conditions

To accept a scholarship, recipients must sign and return an acknowledgement form. glenville.edu
Scholarships are valid only for full‐time enrolment at GSU and cannot be applied to online or summer session courses. glenville.edu

Renewability & Requirements

Many of the institutional scholarships may be renewed provided the student:

• Maintains a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0; glenville.edu
• Submits a donor thank-you letter; glenville.edu
• Continues in good standing in a degree programme. glenville.edu
  Upperclassmen who hold a 3.0 GPA but haven’t yet received a scholarship may apply through the GSU Academic Scholarship application portal. glenville.edu

Diverse Scholarship Options

GSU offers a wide array of named scholarships—each with specific criteria, many tied to academic major, area of residence, financial need, athletic or extracurricular involvement, or legacy and donor preference. For example:

• The “1973 GSU Football Team Scholarship” supports a student-athlete who played minimally in the press but contributed significantly to team success. glenville.edu
• The “Alma Arbuckle Scholarship” is awarded to English or Library Science majors, in recognition of an estate gift from a former university employee. glenville.edu
• The “Bluegrass Tuition Scholarship” supports West Virginia students in the Bluegrass programme or Appalachian Studies. glenville.edu
• Many others emphasise regional preference (for example, counties in central West Virginia), major (e.g., Forestry, Science, Math, Education), and sometimes donor-community relationships. glenville.edu

How to Proceed

1. Submit your admission application to GSU by February 15 (for priority scholarship consideration).
2. Prepare and submit all required documentation: transcript, test scores, or equivalent.
3. After admission, monitor scholarship notifications — if selected you’ll receive the award in writing and must accept via acknowledgement.
4. Enrol full-time, maintain the required GPA and submit any donor thank-you letters if applicable.
5. For upperclassmen or students who did not apply as freshmen, check the Academic Scholarship application link on the GSU portal. glenville.edu

By establishing clear deadlines, maintaining academic standards, and offering specialised awards tied to students’ backgrounds and majors, Glenville State University provides a broad range of opportunities to ease the financial burden and promote student success.
