About

Support Your Favorite College, School, or Department

Shepherd University offers over 100 different academic programs which are united by a strong liberal arts core designed to give our students diverse learning experiences. All to prepare Shepherd graduates to think broadly and critically while actively engaging in civic service and global citizenship.

By supporting these colleges, schools, and departments, you are giving these academic leaders the tools they need to round out their programs. You may be funding a scholarship for a new or returning student, subsidizing a learning experience outside of the classroom, or providing for needed supplies or faculty professional development.

The 2024 Day of Giving goal is ambitious – to have members of our community make gifts totaling $75,000 to Shepherd University in one day. Every gift counts — no matter the size! All will help us reach the overall one-day goal!
