WHEELING, W.Va.– The Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley (CFOV) is pleased to announce that more than 100 area students have been awarded scholarships totaling $233,254 to support their attendance at colleges and universities across the country.
CFOV administers more than 70 scholarship funds, each with set criteria and a competitive application process, designed to benefit students in the CFOV’s eight-county service area. Depending on the criteria, scholarships are awarded to graduating high school seniors or currently enrolled college students. These opportunities are made possible by generous donors who have established funds to demonstrate their commitment to higher education.
“We love this time of year when we make scholarship awards and celebrate the accomplishments of this year’s awardees,” says CFOV Executive Director Susie Nelson. “Each scholarship awarded is a testament to the hard work and potential of these remarkable students. Every dollar awarded is an investment in the future of our community.”
The next CFOV scholarship cycle will open in January 2025. For more information about scholarship opportunities, please call 304-242-3144, email Jess Puglisi-Sanders at jess@cfov.org, or visit https://cfov.org/students/.
