HB 3472 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to eligiblity for WV Invests Grant Program

HB 3472 expands eligibility for West Virginia's Invests Grant Program to include associate degrees or certificates in emergency medical services (EMS) programs. It specifically modifies existing eligibility rules to allow individuals who already hold a post-secondary degree to qualify if they pursue EMS credentials, adding this pathway to §18C-9-5(a)(3) of the law. The bill does not change other core requirements, such as West Virginia residency, enrollment in at least six credits per semester, drug testing, community service (eight hours annually), or repayment terms for graduates who leave the state within two years. This change directly affects current and prospective EMS students seeking financial aid through the state's grant program.
