Zoey Hoffman from Buffalo High School has been named a Bucklew Scholar at West Virginia University.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Some of the Mountain State’s most accomplished and talented students — including one from Buffalo High School — are set to begin their college careers at West Virginia University as the new cohort of Bucklew Scholars.
Each year, the Bucklew Scholarship is given to 20 high-achieving West Virginia students accepted to the University and qualifies them to be considered for the WVU Foundation Scholarship, the University’s highest academic scholarship.
These exceptional students share a passion for learning and making a positive impact on their communities, participate in a range of extracurricular activities, and are preparing to engage in research and contribute to their chosen fields of study.
Several students will pursue biology degrees as a path to their future careers.
The following students will major in biology: pre-medical as a stepping stone to careers in medicine.
Some of the scholars will pursue careers in engineering and computer science.
The following students come to WVU as psychology majors.
The remaining Bucklew Scholars will major in various fields of study.
Gracelyn Fellure from Ravenswood High School, an active member of FFA and 4-H who said she wants to start off her career as an agricultural teacher, will major in agricultural and extension education.
The Neil S. Bucklew Scholarship is named after the 20th WVU president and is valued at $60,000, providing its recipients with $15,000 per year over four years to be used toward educational costs. All Bucklew Scholars have qualified for the WVU Honors College and the scholarship may be used in addition to the state’s PROMISE Scholarship.
The scholarships are part of the WVU’s comprehensive awards program and are supported, in part, by the WVU Foundation, the nonprofit organization that receives and administers private donations on behalf of the university.
