The State Treasurer’s Office announced Tuesday that the Hope Scholarship program met an enrollment figure benchmark it was required to meet by July 1 in order to open up eligibility to all West Virginia public, private, and homeschool students/families by the 2026-27 school year.
“I’m thrilled to announce that Hope Scholarship Program enrollment numbers have met the threshold established by the Legislature to expand this program to all West Virginia school children beginning in the fall of 2026,” said State Treasurer Riley Moore, chairman of the Hope Scholarship Board. “This will be a monumental leap forward for school choice, allowing tens of thousands of additional West Virginia families to access this program.”
