Center for Veteran, Military and Family Programs

Please consider donating to veterans, current service members and dependents who have sacrificed and served our country. Your donation will provide important opportunities for our Veteran and military-connected students as well as the greater WVU community.

Our WVU Veterans/General fund is geared toward enriching programs, securing guest speakers, offering lunch and learns for students to network with employers, and other great opportunities for our entire military population.

We have added an emergency relief fund which will provide financial assistance to our military connected students at WVU who have encountered emergencies during the academic year. This can include, but is not limited to, natural disasters, health, change in employment and financial hardships.

When you make a gift—no matter the size—you help make an immediate impact for The Center for Veteran, Military and Family Programs. Your spirited generosity and devotion is greatly appreciated.
