78 Eastern Panhandle Students Receive 94 Community Foundation Scholarships

The Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation (EWVCF) has proudly served the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia for 25 years, and during that time we have awarded a total of $10.5 million in grants and scholarships. The Community Foundation works with thousands of donors who donate millions of dollars to build 244 endowed funds with over $28 million in assets.

At this time of year, we normally honor our scholarship recipients with the annual Scholars and Donors Reception at the Purple Iris in Martinsburg. However, the coronavirus pandemic has made it impossible for us to gather together in the usual way. Instead, we are posting the names of all 78 students who are receiving 94 scholarships from the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation. The $120,750 being awarded is a new record for EWVCF, and we are delighted to be supporting so many worthy students.

We are grateful to the donors who established these scholarships, proud of the students who are receiving them and honored to support their educational pursuits. We wish one and all, the very best in the years to come.
