Fairmont State University is launching a new initiative designed to help incoming in-state students cover tuition and mandatory fees.
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.
Dr. Davis gives additional updates on Fairmont State Day at the Capitol, Presidential Speaker Series and Fairmont State’s Day of Giving.
