William A. Keller Scholarship Fund Citizens Bank of West Virginia

Through the generosity of William A. Keller, a former majority owner of the former Valley Supply Company, scholarship opportunities are available for students of current Robertson Heating Supply employees who were also employed by Valley Supply Company.
