    According to Dr. Kathleen Nelson, staff and faculty efforts combined with scholarships and low tuition rates have helped the school build its enrollment.

    Clark Hall stands near the highest point on the campus.

    “Our faculty and staff are to be commended on their hard work in recruiting this new class of Pioneers. I am grateful to them for their efforts as this semester gets off to a positive start,” Nelson said.

    In addition to new recruiting efforts, Glenville continues to help make college more affordable for students and families in West Virginia and beyond by maintaining tuition rates for the 2019-20 academic year at the 2017-18 level and by reducing tuition for out-of-state students.

To qualify, students must be U.S. citizens, first-time college freshman, possess a minimum high school GPA of 3.0,  and obtain a minimum ACT score of 20 (SAT 1030).
