West Virginia high school student body presidents honored as WVU Mountaineer Parents Club Scholars

July 29th, 2013

Twenty West Virginia high school seniors who served as student body presidents are being recognized with the West Virginia University Mountaineer Parents Club Loyalty Permanent Endowment Fund Scholarship.

The $1,000 scholarships are awarded annually by the Loyalty Permanent Endowment Fund of the WVU Alumni Association.

“We are pleased to be able to offer a scholarship that encourages some of the best and brightest students to stay in our state,” said Sabrina Cave, assistant vice president for Student Affairs Communications. “These students not only offer a great deal to our University, but also the state of West Virginia.”

The parents of each student will automatically become members of the Mountaineer Parents Club and be presented with a complimentary lapel pin. The pin, in the form of the official logo of the club, is a gold heart surrounding a navy blue Flying WV, meant to symbolize the love of all WVU families for their children and their ties to WVU.
