West Virginia Hope Scholarship
West Virginia Hope Scholarship Program
An education savings account that can support eligible K–12 students through tuition, homeschool curriculum and other qualifying expenses.
Who can apply?
- West Virginia residency and the current student-participation rules apply.
- For 2026–27, the student must be eligible for West Virginia public K–12, under 21 and not have completed secondary education. Incoming kindergarten students must be five before July 1. An active Hope Notice of Intent is required for account funding.
What could it support?
Homeschool curriculum and qualifying learning expenses use the Hope portal and approved vendors. Reimbursement is limited to policy exceptions; confirm the vendor and payment route before buying.
Ask the funder to confirm Glow, the number of learners, the license period and the purchasing method before buying. A listed expense category does not by itself approve a specific product.
Request an individual-learner quote. Scholarship funds may cover only one student’s portion of a shared subscription.
Who receives your request?

First apply for the student’s scholarship account. After an award, use the administrator’s purchase process for eligible learning resources. The Glow packet supports the purchase request; it does not replace the scholarship application.
How to submit
- Use the official account portal to complete eligibility, identity and enrollment questions. Upload private student documents only there.
- Choose the new or current student process for 2026–27. Application timing determines the award percentage. Complete the Hope Notice of Intent and confirm it is active before expecting account funding.
- Once awarded, ask the administrator to confirm the exact Glow product, license term and individual-student allocation before purchasing.
- Use the approved payment or reimbursement process. Keep the approval, itemized invoice and required learning records.
