2026 GWV Fellowship Program Application

About the program

Generation West Virginia's Fellowship Program runs over the course of a year with eight sessions — four in-person and four virtual. Fellows are required to attend no less than seven sessions, with attendance of all strongly encouraged.

Ideal candidate

We are looking for young professionals who have started working toward their professional goals, but still hope to expand their network, develop their skills, and build their confidence to become our next generation of leaders in the state. This program is best for someone who has a few years of work experience but could benefit from this professional training to get to the next level in their careers.

Requirements

• Currently live or work in West Virginia
• Tuition of $2,500 required before the start of the program (if sponsored by your current employer, ensure they submit payment prior to your start date)
• Applications will be judged on merit; no incomplete applications will be considered

Please review the 2026 Fellowship Timeline to ensure you are able to attend 7 out of 8 sessions.
