Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation Scholarships

The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation, headquartered in Charleston, manages more than 100 individual donor scholarship funds and uses a single online application to match each student with the funds they qualify for. Award focus areas vary widely by fund, from general-purpose awards to ones tied to a specific major or to enrollment at the University of Charleston. The same application and portal serve graduating high school seniors and students already in college, and there is no separate fee to apply.
