Scholarships

Blake E. Fought Memorial Scholarship

In 2003, the Central Virginia Chapter established a $25,000 endowment to provide scholarships for area students attending West Virginia University. This endowment provides undergraduate scholarships for students who are nonresidents of West Virginia enrolled at WVU living in the geographical area served by the CVCWVUAA. Since 2005, the CVCWVUAA has awarded over $7,000.00 in scholarships. In 2007, the WVU Foundation recognized the Central Virginia Chapter with a Scholarship Brick on the Ernest L. Hogan Scholars Walk located in front of the University’s Downtown Library Complex.
