FAIRMONT, W.Va. – Fairmont State University will continue the COVID-19 Supplemental Aid Program for full and part-time students enrolled for the spring semester. Application review will begin February 1.
Students enrolled full-time for the spring semester will be awarded $1,500, while students enrolled part-time will receive $1,000.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted each of our lives, but few that have felt the financial impact of the pandemic more keenly than our most vulnerable students,” said Fairmont State University President, Mirta M. Martin. “The continuation of this initiative will have a profound effect on these students, and will allow them to focus more on their studies, and less on financial obligations. Fairmont State is committed to the success of our students, and we are thrilled we can continue to support them during the most critical of times.”
Because the program is federally funded the funds are limited. Applications are required, but funds are not guaranteed.
Students attending Fairmont State University for the Spring 2022 Semester must meet the following criteria:
Be enrolled at least half-time (defined as six credit hours for undergraduate students and five – eight hours for graduate students) at the time the award is made.
Be admitted as a regular, degree-seeking student.
Students with exceptional need will be considered first. Other applications will be considered if there are remaining funds after exceptional need awards are made.
Fairmont State students meeting the outlined criteria may apply at www.fairmontstate.edu/springsupplementalaid.
Students with questions are asked to contact the Office of Financial Aid at 304-367-4141 or email [email protected].
