The West Virginia Daughters of the American Revolution awarded the 2022-23 Blanche L. Reymann State Scholarship to Kaitlyn Adkins of Weirton. The $1,000 scholarship was awarded on Aug. 25 at Bethany College where Adkins is a student studying psychology. At Bethany, she is a member of the honors program, a member of the dean's list 2019-20 and a member of the president's list for the fall 2021 and spring 2022 semesters. She plans to pursue a master's degree in psychology after graduating. The scholarship is named for Blanche L. Reymann, a founding member of the Wheeling Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the state Regent of the WVDAR from 1931-33. After Reymann's death, the scholarship was established by her daughters and adopted by WVDAR as the Blanche L. Reymann Scholarship, which has been awarded annually for 54 years to a West Virginia female student in the top third of her class academically. A recipient must be entering her senior year in one of the private colleges or universities in West Virginia. With Adkins, center, are Lisa McNeil, left, chairman of the Blanche L. Reymann Scholarship Fund, and Jane Larke, state Regent of the West Virginia Daughters of the American Revolution.
