The Latest Edition of Foundation News is Here

This edition of Foundation News highlights the powerful return on investment made possible through your generosity to Fairmont State University. Inside, you will see how access to education – paired with rigor, mentorship, and belief – transforms lives, from commencement celebrations honoring the Class of 2025 to stories of alumni and donors whose support is creating opportunity for generations of students. These pages reflect a shared commitment to preparing leaders, strengthening West Virginia, and ensuring that financial barriers never stand in the way of talent and determination.

You’ll also meet students whose trajectories have been changed by scholarships and donor-funded programs, learn how endowed gifts are building lasting legacies in fields like nursing and science, and preview a few of Fairmont State’s upcoming Day of Giving participating areas. Each story is a reminder that philanthropy is deeply personal and profoundly consequential. We invite you to explore how your partnership continues to open doors, empower ambition, and shape the future – ​one student at a time.​
