The West Virginia University School of Dentistry gratefully acknowledges the generosity of donors to dental student scholarship funds. We greatly appreciate your support of dental students by establishing and contributing to scholarship endowments. Recognized also with sincere appreciation are members of the Dental Scholarship Committee for their dedicated service.
According to WVU Foundation, up to 70% of WVU students seek financial support to attend each year, and private scholarships not only make it possible for some students to attend WVU, but they help reduce or, in some cases, eliminate the student loan burden after graduation.
School of Dentistry friends and alumni considering a gift to help future dentists with their educational investment can provide support through several avenues of giving. WVU Foundation assists donors interested in annual giving, planned giving, gifts in kind, corporate giving, stocks and securities, memorial donations, matching gifts and online giving.
For more information on giving, reach out to Karen Coombs, Director of Development, WVU School of Dentistry.
