Year-after-year,
planned gifts continue to help push West Virginia University forward, making
a lasting impact on its students and the state of West Virginia. For example,
the
Arlen G. & Louise Stone Swiger Fellowship
was established with a planned gift back in 1980 and has provided almost $10 million
in support for Ph.D. students to attend WVU over the past 40 years.
Meanwhile, the Bernard L. Judy Capital Improvements Endowment, which was created
by a planned gift in 2001, has provided almost $500,000 in support of the
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering department at the
Statler College o
f Engineering and Mineral Resources
.
The video above profiles two students who have also benefitted from the generosity
of planned giving donors: Caroline Leadman, a recipient of the Lynette Feeney
Memorial Scholarship, and Julia Hillman, a recipient of the
Gruine Robinson Scholarship.
