Massey Energy Pledging Money For Scholarships
Massey Energy will invest one million dollars for college and postgraduate scholarships over the next five years.
Blankenship says the money will go to central Appalachian students pursuing degrees in engineering and health care.
Blankenship says the announcement is the best investment his company can make in the region because it will help students who need financial help achieve a higher education. Blankenship says that it also fits the needs for medical professionals and mining engineers.
Blankenship was also in Logan County on Friday as he gave a $ 300,000 donation to the Logan County Commission. The money will be used for projects such as a new baseball field at Chapmanville High School and a new recreation facility at Chief Logan State Park.
