WVU Mountaineer Parents Club Loyalty Permanent Endowment Fund Scholarship for High School Student Body Presidents
Awarded annually by the Loyalty Permanent Endowment Fund of the WVU Alumni Association, the $1000 scholarship is awarded to West Virginia high school senior who served as student body presidents.
We are pleased that the Board of the Loyalty Permanent Endowment Fund of the WVU Alumni Association has provided funds for scholarships that encourage outstanding West Virginia high school senior to attend WVU, said Mountaineer Parents Club executive director, Sabrina Cave. These scholarships also enable us to inform parents throughout West Virginia about our organization. Parents of scholarship recipients will automatically become members of the Mountaineer Parents Club and presented with a complimentary lapel pin. The pin, in the form of the official logo of the Mountaineer Parents 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. Following are the guidelines that pertain to the 2007-2008 potential scholarship recipients:
- A $1,000 scholarship will be offered yearly to the first thirty West Virginia high school student body presidents that accept this offer in writing. The scholarship will be awarded in two distributions of $500 for each semester during their freshman year.
- The $1,000 scholarship is offered for their freshman year only, and will not be renewed for additional years.
- If students receive additional scholarships from West Virginia University exceeding the amount for $5,000 per year, it will negate this scholarship offer.
- Each January, a letter will be sent from the Mountaineer Parents Club Office to every high school principal and student body president in West Virginia informing them of the scholarship and requesting acceptance no later than March 1, of the student body president’s graduation year. Under NO circumstances will this deadline be deferred to a later date.
- Under NO circumstances will the scholarship be deferred to a later date, specifically if the student is attending a branch campus for the first year.
- The parents of the scholarship winners will automatically be enrolled in the Mountaineer Parents Club and will be presented with complimentary pins.
- Scholarship recipients will receive their funding from representatives of the Loyalty Permanent Endowment Fund at the Erickson Alumni Center at the beginning of each semester.
- A press release and photograph of the recipients will be sent to local media due to their achievement of the scholarship.
