On this West Virginia Morning, a recent national story identified West Virginia’s Ascend program as being highly successful, even though the numbers are relatively small. News Director Eric Douglas caught up with NPR reporter Scott Neuman to discuss the program in relation to other similar efforts and what he discovered.

Also, applications for West Virginia’s School Clothing Allowance program opened later than usual this year – and closed earlier than expected.

And, transferring knowledge from master to apprentice is one of the oldest ways of handing down traditions, but applications are open for a program to support that relationship.
