The Bonner Scholar Program was created with the belief that college students engaged in service have unique gifts and talents that bring energy, creativity, and hope to individuals and communities. It is also based on the belief that colleges and universities can and must be a "telling presence" in their local communities. In launching and supporting the Bonner Scholars Program, the Bonner Foundation has entered into a partnership with participating institutions that have made a commitment to envision new possibilities for campus-community partnerships.
Once a student enrolls in the Bonner Program, he or she commits to a series of expectations including the following:
Incoming freshman students must apply for the Bonner Scholarship in the fall prior to entering their freshman year. Applications, as well as all supporting documents and references, must be received by November 1 for consideration in our first round of scholarship awards. Applications received after November 1 will be reviewed and awards made until all available scholarships have been disbursed. Each year, the Education Scholarship Foundation awards $1,000 scholarships. A combination of weighted criteria is used in the selection process: 40% financial need; 40% academic achievement; and 20% personal statement. Funds can be applied towards tuition, student fees, room and board, or textbooks, and are sent directly to educational institutions.

Scores will be submitted to the state coordinator and the highest 7 team and 20 individual scores, from schools within WV, will qualify to go to the National Tournament in Louisville, KY in May.

Also, if you want to participate you must let one of the archery coaches know so that your name can be entered into the state roster. If interested, stop by the school counseling office.
