Scholarship Application Process
Kids’ Chance of West Virginia provides college scholarships to the children of West Virginia workers who have been severely or fatally injured in a workplace-related accident. KCWV awards as many scholarships as the current year’s funding will allow.
Who is eligible for a scholarship?
If you are a student who fits the criteria listed below, please consider applying for a scholarship through Kids’ Chance of West Virginia!
- Children (ages 16 – 25) of West Virginia’s workers who have been seriously, catastrophically or fatally injured in an on-the-job accident, who due to lack of financial resources resulting from the accident, would not otherwise have the opportunity to pursue further schooling.
- To verify eligibility for the scholarship, applicants must attach a copy of the order or letter from the workers’ compensation carrier granting a disability award or dependent’s benefits. If the applicant does not have a copy of the order or letter granting benefits, a copy may be obtained from the workers’ compensation carrier.
