WVU Tech to host Camp STEM for high school students
As a native of Southern West Virginia, I know the transformative power of higher education. We are committed to helping students, especially those in Southern West Virginia, see that college is possible and that their dreams can become reality. This new initiative is just one of the many ways that we are putting our passion into action and focusing on our deeds, not words.
Dr. T. Ramon Stuart | WVU Tech President
To be eligible for this program, graduating seniors in the Southern 13 counties (Boone, Fayette, Greenbrier, Lincoln, Logan, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Monroe, Nicholas, Raleigh, Summers, and Wyoming) must complete a release of records form with their school counselor. Once the record is shared with WVU Tech and requirements are met, they will be accepted without needing to submit an admission application.
