How Hope fits
West Virginia's Hope Scholarship, run by the West Virginia Hope Scholarship Board, is $5,435.62 for a full 2026-27 year for any K-12 student. A family applying from Sep 16 to Nov 30, 2026 receives half that for this year.
We did not find Clay Christian Academy on the Hope Scholarship Board's directory as checked Oct 2026. Ask the school whether it has applied to participate before you plan to use Hope for tuition; Hope can still pay for tutoring, curriculum and other approved costs.
Christian schools in the Kanawha Valley set their own tuition and discounts; ask about church-member and sibling rates alongside Hope.
