Hope Scholarship at a glance
- Overseen by: The Hope Scholarship Board, with the West Virginia State Treasurer's Office handling day-to-day administration (W. Va. Code §18-31-1 and following)
- Administered by: The Hope Scholarship online portal, run for the Board by Student First Technologies (Theo). Families buy services in the portal's Marketplace and goods through TheoPay.
- Amount per student, 2026–27: $5,435.62 for a full award. It equals the prior year's statewide average net state aid per pupil, so it changes every year. Starting in 2026–27 it is paid in four quarterly deposits (by August 15, October 15, January 15 and April 15). Unused money rolls over while the student stays in the program.
- Who is eligible: Any West Virginia resident who is enrolled in, or eligible to enroll in, a West Virginia public school in grades K–12, under age 21 and without a high school diploma. Kindergartners must turn 5 before July 1. There is no income limit, and since 2026–27 there is no prior public school requirement.
- Application window / next dates: New 2026–27 applications are taken until February 28, 2027, but the first-year amount depends on when you apply: 100% through June 15, 2026, 75% through September 15, 50% from September 16 to November 30, 2026 (
