This is College Application and Exploration Week. Each day we'll have a related fact. Today's fact is: To keep up with future workforce demands, 60 percent of working-aged West Virginians will need a certificate or degree. But in 2016, only 31 percent of West Virginians aged 25-64 held at least an associate degree. Earning your degree opens up opportunities-because our state needs more college graduates to fill high-paying jobs!

Promise Scholarship and needs-based Higher Education Grant Updates:
To help students qualify for the merit-based Promise Scholarship and needs-based Higher Education Grant amid residual concerns stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, our board met today and approved the following temporary changes
For students in the high school graduating class of 2021:
The standardized testing deadline to qualify for the Promise Scholarship has been extended from August 2021 to October 2021. Colleges and universities statewide are continuing to offer free ACT On-Campus exams; dates and times are posted at wvhepc.edu/act-on-campus-exams/.
For students in the high school graduating classes of 2021 and 2022:
These students will now qualify for super-scoring to achieve the minimum standardized testing scores necessary to qualify for the Promise Scholarship. This allows students to take their top scores from sub-sections of different ACT or SAT tests they’ve taken and combine them for a higher overall score.
For students in the high school graduating class of 2021 receiving the Promise Scholarship for the first time in 2021-22, the test score requirements have been lowered as follows:
ACT composite score – 21 (regularly 22); ACT English score – 19 (regularly 20); ACT Reading score – 19 (regularly 20); ACT Science score – 19 (regularly 20); ACT Math score – 19 (regularly 20).
SAT composite score – 1080 (regularly 1100); SAT Evidenced-Based Reading and Writing score – 510 (regularly 530); SAT Math score – 510 (regularly 520).
For students who received either the Higher Education Grant or the Promise Scholarship for 2020-21 and are renewing it for the 2021-22 award year:
The grade point average required for renewal is waived for this upcoming award year only.
Additional information about the Promise Scholarship and Higher Education Grant are available at https://secure.cfwv.com/.../Scholarships/Scholarships.aspx.
The FAFSA – which is the first step to unlocking these and more funds for college – is available through the U.S. Department of Education at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
