When to apply?

Additional Information:

Funds are limited. A portion of the funding each year must go to students planning to attend Marietta College, Washington State Community College and WVU-Parkersburg. If schools have students who meet the criteria and are planning to attend any of these colleges, they should definitely encourage them to apply. The remaining funds are then awarded to students planning to attend other colleges. We try hard to select one student from each county in our footprint.
