Named Scholarships

This scholarship fund is part of the West Virginia Emulation Endowment Trust. The Trust was created in 1969 by the Foundation and consists of 15 separate scholarship funds that provide need-based scholarship support at various colleges and universities. Each scholarship fund is named after someone their board felt we should all try to emulate -hence the name "Emulation" Endowment Trust. The WVSOM scholarship fund was established in 2016 and named after Dr. Olen E. Jones, Jr. As many of you know, Dr. Jones served as the President of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine from 1987 until 2009 and is credited with guiding the institution to unprecedented success.
