Fayette County, WV-The Fayette County Community Foundation is reopening a long‑standing local scholarship opportunity for students who live in Fayetteville and would have attended the former Fayetteville High School. The Fayetteville High School Alumni Association has partnered with the Foundation to relaunch the annual award, which supports graduating seniors pursuing college, university, or trade‑school education.
Two scholarships will be awarded this spring — one to an eligible Oak Hill High School graduate and one to an eligible Midland Trail High School graduate. Both recipients must meet the same Fayetteville residency and eligibility requirements tied to the former Fayetteville High School attendance area.
Eligibility Requirements
- Must live in Fayetteville and would have attended Fayetteville High School.
- Must be graduating from Oak Hill High School or Midland Trail High School.
- Must plan to attend a college, university, or trade school in any field of study.
- Must have a 4.0 GPA at the time of application.
- Must upload official transcripts through the online application portal.
Applications are available through a link on the Fayette County Community Foundation website. Questions can be directed to hello@FayCoCF.org. The deadline to apply is May 1, 2026.
Foundation Focuses on Improving Quality of Life in Fayette County
Beyond scholarships, the Fayette County Community Foundation continues its mission to strengthen local quality of place, health, and community well‑being. The organization supports nonprofit partners, collaborates with private landowners and government agencies, and works to expand four‑season recreation opportunities across the county.
Community surveys consistently show that residents want more year‑round recreation options — a need the Foundation hopes to help meet as part of its long‑term strategy to address challenges such as poverty, obesity, and substance abuse.
By promoting local giving and investing in community‑driven projects, the Foundation aims to build a healthier, more vibrant future for Fayette County residents.
