The H.E. Kidder Freshman Scholarship
History

He devoted 34 years to West Virginia University (WVU) as a teacher, advisor, livestock and horse judging team coach, and in many other notable roles. “Doc" took particular delight in the success of his students. After his retirement, a scholarship fund was established within the WVU Foundation.
