Sen. Rockefeller Establishes Scholarship

Former U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller has set up a public service scholarship in his name at West Virginia University. Rockefeller gave $100,000 to the WVU Foundation to start the scholarship at the new John D. Rockefeller IV School of Policy and Politics. The first recipient of the scholarship is Michelle Sloane of Paramus, New Jersey who will work to help create the Fairmont Black History Museum. The scholarship calls for undergraduate students participating in off-campus service opportunities related to policy, leadership or public services that address West Virginia’s challenges.
