The West Virginia University Potomac State College Alumni Association recently awarded two $500 scholarships based on the generous bequest by John Philip Spoerl, Class of 1963. Spoerl created a perpetual trust, as part of his estate which funds scholarships for students enrolled in business administration at the College. The most recent recipients are Chase Staggers and Isabella Hill.
Staggers is a junior in the four-year business management program and has earned a place on the President’s List for all semesters that he’s attended Potomac State College. He interned at Timothy D. Rollins, CPA; is currently employed at Polish Pines Golf Course; serves as treasurer for the College’s Circle K Club, and is a member of the Keyser Presbyterian Church where he also volunteers his time.
