School of Medicine

Your gift to the WVU School of Medicine shapes the lives of students and advances the future of medicine and quality of life in West Virginia.

Why we need your support

Medical education is constantly changing. To adapt to the rapidly changing academic environment, we need the flexibility provided by gifts to our areas of greatest need. Your support ensures our future stability and helps us maintain our competitive edge.

How you can help

Contributing to one of the School’s priority funds is one way to support the School of Medicine.

Greatest Needs

Giving to this fund helps with our most pressing needs. Gifts support student travel to conferences, special programs and lectures for students and upgrades in technology.

Dean's Annual Scholarship Fund

For many of our students, medical school debt reaches over $200,000. Giving to the scholarship fund helps reduce student debt.

John J. Petronis, PT, MS Scholarship Fund

This fund, which is in honor of a great educator, helps to support our PT students to reduce the burden of student debt.
