Scholars and Professorships
Eberly Scholars
In association with the ongoing generosity The Eberly Foundation and the Eberly Family Charitable Trust of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences Advisory Board established the Eberly Scholars program in 1988. Each year, up to 25 students majoring in the arts and sciences are designated as Eberly Scholars. They are provided with scholarship support in recognition of their outstanding academic achievement. This award is the Eberly College’s most prestigious scholarship honor for undergraduate students.

Eberly Family Professors
Eberly Family Distinguished Professors help to strengthen the Eberly College and WVU. Each of these highly-talented faculty serve as an “academic magnet,” attracting new faculty and graduate students to WVU, fostering faculty development and providing leadership with their departments and across the University. Each professor is continuing to develop a record of personal achievement, enhancing their professional visibility and recognition within their discipline. The academic quality of the Eberly College’s programs have been markedly enhanced by the presence of these individuals.
