The WVU LGBTQ+ Center is committed to enhancing and promoting the retention and academic success of LGBTQ-identifying students at WVU. To this end, we have created the William L. Peters LGBTQ+ Emergency Fund, established in honor of the late William “Bill” L. Peters, longtime benefactor and supporter of the WVU LGBTQ+ Center and the students we serve.
The William L. Peters LGBTQ+ Emergency Fund for LGBTQ+ undergraduate and graduate students is designed to assist those who experience unexpected and documented financial hardship that negatively impacts their academic life and progress. This program, managed by the WVU LGBTQ+ Center, is designed to assist those who cannot reasonably resolve their financial hardship through other financial or community resources.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis dependent on fund availability.
