Bill overview
This bill establishes the West Virginia Math & Science Teacher Scholarship Act to address a shortage of qualified math and science educators in the state. The act creates a scholarship program offering debt relief to existing and future West Virginia teachers with specializations in these fields, contingent upon meeting specific employment and educational requirements. The program aims to incentivize educators to remain in West Virginia and bolster STEM education within the state’s public schools. The scholarship will sunset in 2036.
