CAWV Scholarship Foundation , his professors and industry mentors during the CAWV ’ s state meeting and the West Virginia Construction and Design EXPO in Charleston .
“ This scholarship means a lot to me because I feel that I am representing both of my grandfathers and my father , who all worked in the construction industry ,” he says . “ The odds were against me as a first-generation college student coming from a small , overlooked community in Boone County . I fell into a stereotype that was unlikely to succeed . It ’ s taken hard work , determination and late nights of studying to get where I am today . I know I have much more work ahead , but I am prepared for the challenge and look forward to the journey .”
In addition to Moore , the foundation presented six other scholarships totaling $ 15,000 . Students receiving scholar ship awards were Shane Griffith , WVU Institute of Technology ; Benjamin O ’ Dell , Marshall University ; Asher Bailey , WVU ; Avery Costilow , WVU ; Chandler Mills , WVU ; and
Kaden Statler , Fairmont State University .
“ Once again , the CAWV Scholarship Foundation had a great group of applicants this year ,” says Gene Thompson , scholarship foundation chairman and CAWV past president . “ All of the students we interviewed have impressive transcripts and leadership skills , with some already having work experience within the industry . They have committed themselves to educational excellence and each one of them will bring a unique benefit to West Virginia ’ s construction industry in the years to come .”
