Health Sciences and Technology Academy graduates are eligible to receive University tuition waivers for their graduate education in programs related to health or science at West Virginia University.
Students must apply to programs and be accepted through the regular admissions process.
HSTA waivers may be applied to University tuition only. Many Schools and Colleges will also provide a College tuition scholarship to HSTA students, but students will need to request consideration for such a scholarship from the appropriate Dean’s Office.
