Governor Patrick Morrisey signs House Bill 4087

Kanawha County, WV (WOAY) – Governor Patrick Morrisey celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by signing House Bill 4087 in green ink.

This establishes the West Virginia-Ireland Education Alliance to expand academic partnerships between the two, while building on the relationship formalized in 2023 through the West Virginia-Ireland Trade Commission by adding a focus on education.

This will create new opportunities for cooperation between the state and Irish colleges.

The Higher Education Policy Commission will select one four-year and one two-year institution to partner with higher education in Ireland.

These partnerships may be eligible for a grant of up to 50 thousand, subject to the legislature.
