Happy Holidays from Fairmont State University. The University is closed from 4 p.m. Friday, December 20 through Thursday, January 2. Fairmont State will reopen on Friday, January 3.
Fairmont State University has received a grant totaling $2,548,265 over the next five years from the Katherine Johnson NASA Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) to extend the existence of the Education Resource Center (ERC). These funds represent the continuation of a collaborative relationship between the two agencies spanning over 20 years.
Each fall and winter, Fairmont State University offers West Virginia seniors an opportunity to apply for their premier academic scholarship, the Charles J. McClain Scholarship. Through a highly competitive process, twenty students will be invited to campus to compete for the scholarship. All applicants invited to campus will receive an academic scholarship, with three students being named McClain Scholars. McClain Scholars will receive tuition and fees, room and board for on-campus students, and a $500 per semester book scholarship for the on-campus Bound for Success Bookstore. The McClain Scholarship will cover up to four years (eight semesters) for the selected three students, estimated at approximately $80,000 per student.
More than 1,000 students have been honored for their academic achievement at Fairmont State University after completing the Fall 2023 semester.
Back in August, the state of West Virginia was left in shock when Alderson Broaddus closed its doors permanently. Many students and employees were forced to relocate to different universities across the state.
Fairmont State University has been awarded $22,055 each year for three years in grant funding from the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission’s Science, Technology & Research (STaR) Division’s Summer/Semester Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) program. This award will fund undergraduate-led research within Fairmont State’s College of Science and Technology and other campus departments with related research opportunities.
