The Credit Bureau of the Virginias Foundation Scholarship program grants six $1000 scholarships annually to students from the southwest Virginia\/southern West Virginia counties bordering the Bluefield area. Students may receive the scholarship as long as they are successfully enrolled in a program at Southwest pursuing a diploma, usually for two years. Students targeted to receive these scholarships should have a grade point average of 2.0 to 3.0 and maintain that average to continue receiving the scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image td-caption-align-left\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Credit-Bureau-of-the-Virginias-Foundation-edit-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Jimmy W.
