Governor Earl Ray Tomblin presented the Kanawha Valley Mining Institute’s Charles Bowling Scholarships to 10 area students at the association’s Thursday meeting. KVMI has been awarding these scholarships annually for more than 70 years.
“The Kanawha Valley Mining Institute is proud to make these scholarships available to these students that represent the future of our industry and our communities. The KVMI was chartered in 1934 and has been making these scholarships, now known as the Charles Bowling scholarships, ever since,” said Kevin Whipkey, KVMI president.
“The KVMI provides an opportunity for members of the mining community to establish relationships within the industry and also provides these students the opportunity to develop a network within the industry that can serve them well as they enter their working careers.”
