Student Programs

The Mollohan Foundation provides many opportunities for students through various scholarships and student programs. These programs provide West Virginia students with assistance for their college education. The goal of our programs is to give students an opportunity to further their education and understand the range of opportunities that are available within their home state.

Scholarships

The scholarships offered through the Mollohan Foundation vary on amounts, eligibility, criteria and application requirements. Many scholarship recipients will be eligible for paid internship opportunities within their field of study, as well as college loans that can be partially or fully forgiven if the student decides to live and work in West Virginia after their college graduation.

Please note that to be eligible for our scholarship program, all students must be attending, or planning to attend, a college, University, or post-high school degree program in the state of West Virginia as well as a graduate, or upcoming graduate, of an in-state high school.
