Donations

 WVU Charlotte is currently accepting donations to support Our University’s initiatives and scholarship opportunities for NC-area students attending WVU. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization, therefore any donations made are tax deductible and qualify if the organization You work with has a gift matching program.

 NC License plate initiative

Over the last 15+ years, alumni chapters in North Carolina have worked together in an attempt to bring a West Virginia University license plate to the state of North Carolina. Despite enthusiasm among alumni and fans, the efforts to obtain the required number of paid applications for plate approval stalled far short of the goal.

We are excited to announce that we are starting the push again to make these plates a reality!

To reserve your plate and help to ensure that we can see the flying WV on North Carolina license plates, we need your help!  The state of North Carolina requires 300 completed and signed applications to authorize the issuance of the plate.  To help, we have created this Google form, which will require you to provide all of the information required by the form. You will be required to provide name and contact information that matches the vehicle title, vehicle information such as make, model, and VIN, and will need to provide your insurance information.

Once your information is provided, we will populate the form, and send to you for e-Signature.  There is also a $30 fee required by the DMV (+ small processing fee). You will receive an invoice AFTER we secure the 300 applications.

WVU Charlotte Chapter representatives will also have paper applications available at future chapter events in the event you would prefer to complete an application in person.

Please note: If you wish to have a personalized plate, you may provide that information in your application as well, but you will be responsible for the additional fee. Please see the DMV official website for rules regarding personalized special plates. 

The deadline to submit an application for the initial round is January 15th, 2026.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our chapter representatives: Jeff Willink (jeffrey.willink@gmail.com) or Mallory Willink (president@wvucharlotte.org).
