Maymester 2024 course sections are not supported through this program.
Classes must be offered by WVU Tech or online through another WVU campus.

NOTE:  The information on this site is for WVU Tech Students ONLY. If you are a student of Potomac State or WVU Morgantown, please go to their BOOST website for details

• Merit-based or need-based aid recipients needing to reach the completion and GPA  benchmark requirements for scholarship eligibility

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS FOR TUITION STIPEND

The tuition stipend for Summer BOOST participants is equivalent to 30% of university tuition for in-state students and 40% for out-of-state students for the Summer 2024 term. Other charges such as college tuition and university fees are not calculated in the tuition stipend once the program is completed.

 The following actions are required for tuition stipend consideration:

• Earn a C or better in attempted courses in the Summer 2024 term
• Utilize one of the following academic resources during each Summer term they are enrolled:
• Work with a tutor
  
• Complete a StudentLingo Workshop
• Complete the academic resource assessment (this will be emailed to students' MIX account) during each Summer term.
• Enroll in at least one course at WVU Tech for the Fall 2024 term.
  

Students completing the requirements for the stipend will receive their payment approximately two weeks  AFTER final grades are released in August. Once it is processed the stipend will be credited to the student account.

BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAM

Students can raise their cumulative GPA (CGPA) by retaking courses where a higher grade is desired. By focusing on just these classes, students can have an opportunity to earn the CGPA needed to start the next school year in good academic standing or  maintain the PROMISE and/or Institutional Scholarships and need-based aid. By taking a summer course, eligible students can stay on track.

Other benefits include:

• Students can take part in smaller, more intensive classes.
• Students can utilize tutoring and online workshops to help improve academic performance.
• Students on academic suspension can potentially raise their CGPA sufficiently to return to WVU Tech for the upcoming Fall term.
• Students who earn a C or better in each attempted course and complete the academic resource requirement (including assessment), are eligible for a tuition stipend to be applied as a credit to the student account.
