flag West Virginia lawmakers propose capping its Hope Scholarship at $5,435.62 per student starting July 1, 2026, restricting fund use and requiring testing for homeschoolers.

flag West Virginia lawmakers are advancing a bill to cap the Hope Scholarship at $5,435.62 per student starting July 1, 2026, limiting fund use to tuition, curriculum, and technology with a defined useful life, removing broad spending flexibility, and requiring annual standardized testing for homeschoolers. flag The changes, introduced just weeks before the program expands to all school-age children, aim to control rising costs projected at $230 million in its first full year of universal access. flag State Treasurer Larry Pack and education advocates warn the last-minute shifts could disrupt enrollment for nearly 25,000 families and undermine the program’s original intent, while some school districts fear funding losses to public schools.
