MORGANTOWN,
W.Va. (AP) — At least two West Virginia colleges have set up emergency
assistance programs to financially help students during the coronavirus pandemic.

West
Virginia University and West Virginia State University both announced
their programs on Thursday and said they’re trying to help students
who’ve taken financial hits to continue their education.

West
Virginia State University students must been in good standing with the
school and can apply for the funds on the college’s website.

WVU
said it’s working to identify students who would need help from its
fund, including the more than 4,000 students employed by the school but
not covered under federal aid programs. The money will be doled out
through the school’s nonprofit.
