The annual Educational Foundation Awards Ceremony was quite a success.  We want to congratulate those students who were awarded scholarships for Fall 2011 semester.  It is an honor for the Educational Foundation to award more than $150,000 to over 100 very deserving recipients.  We also want to give a big thanks to our Virginia Western Student Ambassadors who assisted us at the ceremony.  You play an important role in so many aspects of campus life and we are grateful for your participation helping with the ceremony that honored your fellow students.  Student Ambassadors Megan Hostetter and Daniel Chandler, also a recipient of the Al Pollard Memorial Foundation Annual Scholarship, and Sepideh Torkiyan, work study in Student Services, helped the Awards Ceremony run smoothly.
