The Kanawha Valley Mining Institute is an organization dedicated to building and maintaining personal relationships within the mining community, providing a forum for educating its members in current events and developments in mining, new product and process developments, and support of the education of our youth through financial scholarships. ALL of the monies raised by the Institute are directed toward the awarding of financial assistance scholarships to students possessing good scholastic and community values, and are awarded by the Directors after reviewing their applications, including reviews by their professors. These scholarships have traditionally been awarded to students at WVU - Tech and Marshall University enrolled in degree programs having some application in the mining industry. However, the awarding of such scholarships are not necessarily limited to these schools.

Any interested student may receive information concerning these scholarships by contacting the KVMI at the following e-mail address:
