Metro Scholarship

Fairmont State University wants to reward students who are from our SIX surrounding states by providing the Metro scholarship, in addition to the already discounted tuition and required fees.  If you are from Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, Maryland, or the District of Columbia (DC) this scholarship is for you.  The scholarship is awarded at the time that you apply to Fairmont State University, no additional application required.  The Metro Scholarship in addition to other scholarships cannot exceed the base tuition and required fees for any student.
