West Virginia Promise Scholarship

“Salem University is thrilled to offer the Promise Scholarship to West Virginia students. We are happy to be able to continue Salem’s long-standing tradition of serving the community and its residents. This opportunity aligns with Salem’s mission to prepare students to achieve their career goals through accessible education and relevant life skills within an inclusive and diverse environment.”
