This is HUGE. The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation Scholarship program will open on November 15, 2025! TGKVF has over 100 scholarships established by individuals, firms, and organizations wanting to assist West Virginia residents in obtaining a college education. Applicants apply to the competitive program and, if eligible, may be awarded a scholarship. Some of the scholarships are specific to students in certain counties, but most of the scholarships are available to all West Virginians.
Take some time to look at all of the rules and be sure to apply for at least two of these great scholarships. Again, let me know if you have any questions about this process.
