MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES THAT FOLLOW

THE LEGACY ENDOWMENT SCHOLARSHIP FUND

You can make a permanent and positive difference in the lives of deserving West Virginia college students through Gift Planning. Bequests from prominent West Virginians have established the Legacy Endowment Scholarship Fund, which awards scholarships annually to West Virginia students at our member colleges.

When Lew McManus passed away in 2002, he left a portion of his estate to WVICU. Mr. McManus served on the WVICU board of directors for nearly two decades and had a distinguished career in public service as a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates for five terms, beginning in 1964, and served three terms as Speaker of the House.

Edith Cather made annual gifts to WVICU from 1974 until 2008. When she passed away at the age of eighty-nine, she left a substantial portion of her estate to WVICU for scholarships. Mrs. Cather was the first woman to serve as president and chairman of the board of the Greater Parkersburg Area Chamber of Commerce and the first woman to serve as chairman of the West Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges, now WVICU.

Contact your financial advisor about establishing a charitable gift either through cash, stocks, real estate, insurance policies or personal property. You can even make West Virginia Independent Colleges & Universities (WVICU) a beneficiary of your life insurance, pension plan or IRA.

The Legacy Endowment Scholarship Fund is making a difference in the lives that follow.
