What a special scholarship season it has been! 🎓

Recently, scholarship recipient Alice Petry, a graduate of Musselman High School who helped rekindle the school's dance team, joined scholarship reviewer Patty Austin and our Scholarship Manager, Karin Dunn, on Panhandle Live to share the impact of local scholarships.

Alice reflected on receiving three scholarships and the memorable moment she shared with her mother when the awards were announced during senior awards day.
This year, thanks to the generosity of our donors and fundholders, more than $320,000 in scholarships was awarded to 121 students across our five-county
area.

Congratulations to Alice and all of our scholarship recipients as they take the next step in their educational journeys. We are honored to be part of their stories and grateful to the donors who help make these opportunities possible.

South Branch Elementary Leadership Day

Leadership, learning, and student pride were on full display at South Branch Elementary School’s Leadership Day and Showcase of Learning!

Using the Leader in Me curriculum, rooted in the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, students confidently shared their growth, accomplishments, and creativity throughout the year. The student-led event began with an introduction to the school’s vision, mission, and the 7 Habits, followed by a celebratory parade in the gym featuring every student and their proudest accomplishments. Visitors then toured classrooms where students showcased special projects and demonstrated the skills they’ve been developing all year long.

The excitement, confidence, and leadership shown by these students made the day truly inspiring.

We are proud that a $5,000 grant from the Joy Tutwiler Snyder Memorial Fund helped support this impactful program during the 2025–26 school year.

SWINGING SUPPORT TOWARD STUDENT SUCCESS
Fulton L. Walker, Jr. Scholarship Golf Tourney

A gorgeous day greeted nearly 100 golfers as they took to the course on May 1st in memory of Fulton L. Walker, Jr., long remembered for his achievements both on and off the football field. Through their participation, golfers helped raise funds to expand scholarship opportunities for local students.

Since its inception in 2018, the Fulton L. Walker, Jr. Scholarship has awarded $32,500 to 28 deserving students pursuing their education at West Virginia University.

A carefully designed and lovingly created outdoor learning space at Windy Ridge Elementary School received a $100,000 grant from the Joy Tutwiler Snyder Memorial Gift Fund to encourage and support hands-on environmental learning. The grant was presented by Ed Snyder in memory of his late wife, Joy Tutwiler Snyder, an educator and one-time student of Augusta Elementary School, now Windy Ridge Elementary.

Congratulations to all involved in this outstanding project, and thank you to Ed Snyder for such a generous and thoughtful gift.

Earth Day | April 22 🌱

Growing Environmental Awareness — One Seedling at a Time!

Through a partnership between the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection and Capon Bridge Elementary School, students had the opportunity to learn about environmental stewardship while working on school-based projects. To help highlight that Earth Day is something we can celebrate every day, students and staff each received a White Pine seedling to plant.

Hands-on learning like this helps cultivate a lifelong appreciation for our environment—one tree, one student, and one small action at a time.

Volunteer Appreciation Week | April 19–25 💙

In 2025, more than $1.7 million in grants and scholarships were awarded to strengthen our community and support students pursuing their dreams. None of this would be possible without the dedication of our grant and scholarship committee volunteers.

Collectively, more than 100 individuals generously give their time and expertise to carefully read, review, and score applications—often facing the difficult task of choosing among many deserving organizations and students.

Their commitment helps ensure that resources reach those who need them most and that the philanthropic vision of our donors is honored.

Our team and our community thank all EWVCF volunteers for the difference you make. 🌟

INVESTING IN EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY GROWTH

Nearly $29,000 was awarded across 10 grants through the Hardy County Founding Fund. The funding supports a range of initiatives, including projects at the Hardy County Public Library and the Wardensville Community Library, as well as educational programs at East Hardy Elementary School and Moorefield’s high, middle, and intermediate schools.

Moorefield High School, which recently introduced Fling Golf into its physical education curriculum, is especially excited about the opportunities its grant will provide. The funding will allow more students to improve their physical, social, and emotional well-being while being introduced to this new sport.
