The Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation awarded 170 scholarships totaling $321,860 to 121 students from the Berkeley, Jefferson, Hampshire, Hardy and Morgan Counties.
We are grateful to the donors who established these scholarships. “Each donor has their own story behind giving,” said Karin Hammann Dunn, EWVCF Scholarship Program Manager. “Some scholarships honor loved ones; others reflect a desire to give back after receiving support themselves. No matter the reason, this generosity is an investment in the next generation—and in the future of our entire region.”
We are so proud of the students who are receiving these scholarships and honored to support their educational pursuits. We wish one and all, the very best in the years to come.
