Did you write an exceptional research paper this year? Consider submitting it for the Robert F. Munn Library Scholars Award.

Open to PhD and MS students at WVU, the fellowship is available for students in diverse fields of study, including computer science, engineering, health sciences, physical sciences, business and economics, and other areas related to human health.

The trainee may be supported by a fellowship that pays $34,000 in stipend each year, plus tuition waiver. PhD students with stipend will be supported for two years, while MS students will be supported for one year. Fellowship with stipend requires US citizenship or permanent residence. A trainee could also be a non-resident, or non-citizen, but without a stipend. Trainees that complete all elements of the traineeship (whether supported by a stipend or not) will receive a Graduate Certificate in Digital Health. If interested, please visit the project webpage for more information about the traineeship, or the traineeship application page for more details on how to apply.

The WVU Purpose Center reminds students about summer availability for free, one-on-one CliftonStrengths® coaching sessions. Want to talk about how to intentionally aim your strengths at your internship or summer job? Or maybe you have a goal for the upcoming semester and you want ideas on intentionally using your strengths to reach it. Our team of Gallup-certified Strengths coaches can help you dig deeper into your strengths! Virtual or in-person sessions are available, so even if you're off campus for the summer-- we can still meet!

WVU has begun a multi-semester transition to eCampus Ultra, the newest version of the Blackboard/Anthology platform, but will continue using eCampus Original until all courses have been rebuilt in the new system. This dual-platform approach means that students on all campuses could be working in both eCampus Original and eCampus Ultra.

For those who may have hit an academic road bump this year, you can get back on track this summer through the Summer BOOST program.

Join the program if you have a cumulative GPA below a 2.5, you’re repeating a course with a previous D/F grade or you are failing to meet maintenance eligibility for need or merit-based aid.

By enrolling in any WVU courses this summer, you can take part in smaller, more intensive classes, and have access to dedicated success coaches and workshops. Those who successfully complete courses with a C or better and enroll for fall 2024 term will also be eligible for a stipend valued up to 30-40% of University tuition.
