At Marshall, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to earn a college degree without drowning in debt.
That’s why we’re expanding Marshall for All: Tuition-Free WV, making college more accessible than ever before.
If you have first-time freshmen from West Virginia whose families earn $65,000 or less, they could qualify to have their tuition and required fees covered in full. *
No loans. No stress. Just opportunity.
___________________________________________
So, what’s covered?
✅ Full tuition
✅ University fees
✅ College fees
What’s not?
Housing, meals, books, program specific fees, and personal expenses - but we’ll help students explore additional financial aid options to make their education affordable.
📌 Please share this opportunity with your students and their families! They can learn more and check their eligibility here: https://www.marshall.edu/marshallforall/
If you or your students have any questions, feel free to reach out to our financial aid team—we’re happy to help.
