Women of Asphalt strives to empower women in asphalt industry careers by increasing awareness of opportunities in the industry, elevating knowledge through education and research, and providing platforms to create a supportive community. In this spirit of these core values, WofA West Virginia has started a scholarship program to award monetary benefits to women seeking careers in the asphalt industry. Scholarships are given in amounts of up to $2500.00 per recipient. The Women of Asphalt WV Scholarship Program is an important initiative that provides financial assistance to women pursuing careers in the asphalt industry, with scholarship amounts and the number of annual recipients being determined on a rolling basis by the Women of Asphalt WV Executive Committee to ensure the program remains relevant and impactful.
