West Virginia University - School of Natural Resources
The Dellapa-Gallien Families Memorial Scholarship
The Dellapa–Gallien Families Memorial Scholarship honors the legacy of two families whose support shaped my journey as both a student and entrepreneur.
Established for incoming West Virginia University freshmen pursuing degrees in natural resource management, this scholarship focuses on students from Southern West Virginia's coalfield counties.
My goal is to provide opportunities for the next generation to advance sustainable resource management, giving back to the communities that have shaped my career in forest management and ecological consulting.

Eligibility based on high school students from these highlighted counties only
