In association with the ongoing generosity of the Eberly family, the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences Advisory Board established the Eberly Scholars program in 1988. Each year, up to 25 students majoring in the arts and sciences are designated as Eberly Scholars. They are provided with scholarship support in recognition of their outstanding academic achievement. This award is the Eberly College’s most prestigious scholarship honor for undergraduate students.  Meet all of this year's Eberly Scholars.

Growing up as a loyal fan of “Jurassic Park” in a family of nature lovers, West Virginia University student Sam Ocon always knew she wanted to be a paleontologist. Some of Ocon’s earliest memories are learning to identify the local fauna around her hometown of Gainesville, Florida, with her dad and digging for fossils in the limestone among her grandfather’s plants. Today, Ocon is fulfilling her dream of studying invertebrate paleontology in the WVU Department of Geology and Geography.
