In the first year of The Country Roads Program, much of the cost falls on individual families through tuition, housing, and programmatic fees. At this time, the estimated cost for a student enrolled in the program is $39,466 annually. Financial aid programs are available to families but are limited given the non-academic focus in the first two years. Program contributions will help reduce this cost for families.

Who Can Support the Country Roads Program?

Anyone who wishes to contribute to The Country Roads Program may do so regardless of the donation amount. This may include individuals, small or large business owners, and other groups.

How Can Someone Provide Support to the Program?

We worked closely with the WVU Foundation to establish a program fund. This fund gathers all donations and contributions for the program into one place so that we can develop scholarships and support the other costs associated with implementing the program.
