Luck Alone Awards $2,000 Scholarships

Five scholarships--each worth $2,000--were awarded by a drawing at West Virginia University. All students in good standing--those not on academic probation--in the college’s 2,700-member freshman class were eligible for the drawing, held in a ballroom on the university’s Morgantown campus. The only hitch was winners had to be present when their ticket stubs were drawn from a big drum Saturday night. One student missed out because he was a no-show. Two students from West Virginia and three from Pennsylvania won the scholarships. “My mom called me this morning and made me come. I’m glad I listened,” said One was Scott Inman, a physical education major from Follansbee. An anonymous donor provided $10,000 for the giveaway, plus $10,000 for five need-based scholarships.
