We also are pleased to announce the recipients of the Dollars for Scholars scholarships. This is a program of the United Methodist Foundation for Higher Education (UMFHE). For students who attends West Virginia Wesleyan College, a $1,000 gift from their church can be matched by $1,000 from the UMFHE and $1,000 from the college. Our Foundation is able to supply a fourth match of $1,000 due to generous gifts from the Estate of Charles E. and Betty C. Rogers. This year’s Rogers Scholars are:
