The WVU Day of Giving is one of the most impactful ways to address the needs of students at Statler College. This year, the college is committed to focusing our efforts across all departments on student experiential learning. Not only does this annual fundraiser help alleviate financial stressors from students but it also gives them a more valuable educational experience through improved equipment in labs and increased funds for student organizations and competitions.
We urge you to participate — no matter the size of the gift. While your gift can be counted towards any fund that you choose, we are putting a special emphasis on the following funding opportunities:
College of Engineering Scholarship - 2S098
A continued emphasis on financial aid and merit scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students will ensure affordability and enhance competitiveness for recruiting and graduating our students.
Engineering Student Activities - 2W180
The Statler College has over 50 student organizations, clubs and competition teams involved in everything from K-12 STEM outreach to winning and placing in international championships like the Mine Rescue Competition, University Rover Challenge and the F1Tenth Competition. This fund provides students with hands-on experiential learning that is vital to their professional growth and success in their careers.
Statler College Engagement - 2W1426
This fund will support experiential learning through community engagement between faculty, staff, students and alumni of Statler College.

Unrestricted gifts help cover costs other funding may not cover and are readily available to be easily directed where needed most, such as financial assistance to students for certification fees, professional conferences, travel and registration. This fund also helps the College strategize upgrades to teaching labs and student study areas.
