President Brad D. Smith and First Lady Alys Smith made a historic $50 million gift to Marshall University to advance Marshall For All, a groundbreaking program designed to eliminate student debt.
“Our ‘why’ is simple: to level the playing field in West Virginia and Appalachia. We hope this gift ensures that every student with the dream of an advanced degree has the opportunity and support to achieve it — while also showing what’s possible for the future of higher education in our region and beyond.”
