A famous writer with West Virginia ties is creating a scholarship at Marshall University.
The Homer Hickam Red Helmet Scholarship will help the children and grandchildren of coal miners attend college. It can also be used for the children and grandchildren of mine rescue team members.
The scholarship is named for Hickman’s father and for his latest novel, "Red Helmet."
Hickam's father was a mine superintendent in McDowell County. [source]
