WVU Tech

The future is bright for our Golden Bears, but they also rely on community partners and donors like you to help get them there.

This year, March 26 is the Day of Giving. It’s a great time to show your support of WVU Tech and what we do in our community, as well as supporting the Golden Bears who go out into the world and do amazing things.

We need you to make that happen. Any donation will go directly to helping students and the WVU Tech campus, with an impact lasting a lifetime. Join us on March 26!

WVU Tech William Benn Student Success Fund - 2W704

Honoring the legacy of Golden Bear Veteran William “Bill” Benn
William “Bill” Benn had to take a hiatus from his studies as a civil engineer at Tech due to financial concerns which forced him to enlist in the U.S. Marines. Bill tragically lost his life in Vietnam where he was killed in action on June 6, 1969. We are honored to be able to pay tribute to Bill in this way and we know that this will help current and future students who might be in the same financial situation that Bill experienced as a student. Donations will help current and future Golden Bears complete a degree at Tech, making them Golden Bear alumni.

WVU Tech Athletic Director Account - 2W560

Support our amazing Golden Bears who excel in the classroom, in our community and on the court. You can earmark for a certain sport or support our 18 athletic teams in general with a donation to the Golden Bear Athletics General Fund.

Tech Golden Bear Alumni Association General Fund - 2W580

The Tech Golden Bear Alumni Association (TGBAA) has provided thousands of dollars to support various campus programs and initiatives – from support for student need, scholarships, mentorship programs and alumni engagement activities and more!
