Support Global Engagement at WVU
Make a lasting impact on students and the world
At West Virginia University’s Office of Global Affairs, we believe that global experiences and international engagement are essential for shaping future leaders, fostering cross-cultural understanding, and preparing students for careers in an increasingly interconnected world. Your support helps ensure that every student—regardless of financial background—has access to global opportunities that will transform their academic and personal journeys.
By donating to one of our three dedicated funds, you can help us:
- Support students facing unexpected challenges through critical needs and emergency support
- Provide scholarships for study abroad, ensuring more Mountaineers can gain international experience
- Assist international students in achieving their academic goals at WVU
Your generosity empowers students to think beyond borders, develop a global mindset, and become leaders in their fields.
