Your Planned Gift Changes Lives at WVU

With your support, West Virginia University has a proud tradition of preparing talented students for rewarding careers that will make a difference—for West Virginia, and for the world. Each year WVU’s Morgantown campus alone awards over $433 million in financial aid, including $48 million in scholarships. That’s where we need the help of generous people like you. Will you join with us to keep the Mountaineer spirit flowing? Get started today by exploring the planned giving options available to you.

This video profiles two students who have also benefited from the generosity of planned giving donors: Caroline Leadman, a recipient of the Lynette Feeney Memorial Scholarship, and Julia Hillman, a recipient of the Gruine Robinson Scholarship.
