MORGANTOWN – Like manyveterans, Robert Crane attendedcollege on the G.I. Bill, but un-derstands that military benefitsalone cannot support West Vir-ginia’s veteran student popula-tion.

This is why he and his wife,Sharon, have pledged $100,000 toestablish the Esther L. Crane En-dowed Scholarship at West Vir-ginia University to benefitveteran students who are fromWest Virginia with a first prefer-ence to disabled military veteranstudents.

They want to give back and

help other veterans achieve theirgoals.

“Many times the G.I. Bill doesnot cover all of the costs of a col-lege education, and we wanted todo something as a tribute to ourwounded veterans,” Crane said.“They are the real heroes."

Currently more than 800 mili-tary veteran students and theirdependents are enrolled at WVU.Deciding to commit to a programof higher education and come tocampus can be a unique chal-lenge for these men and women.When service members transi-

tion out of the military, they leave

behind a culture that has taughtthem to work as a team toachieve every mission. Veteransmust learn to find new meaningin a new community with an en-tirely different value system.Gaps and differences in life expe-rience, a shift in values, feelingsof isolation and post-traumaticstress can compound the prob-lem.

Crane, of Moneta, Va., under-stands these challenges andcredits his mother, Esther Crane,a school teacher in the JeffersonCounty school system fromUvilla, W.Va., with his successful

transition from the military intohigher education. The scholar-ship is named in her honor.

Crane attended WVU beforeenlisting in the Army. He spentnine years in the active Army andArmy Reserve before resigningwith the rank of captain. After heleft the military, his mother wasinstrumental in encouraging himto return to school and get his de-gree. After his military service,Robert earned Bachelor andMaster of Business Administra-tion Degrees and recently retiredfrom Cummins, Inc., as executivevice president and corporate

controller.The endowment was created

through the WVU Foundation inconjunction with A State ofMinds: The Campaign for WestVirginia’s University. The cam-paign is a $750 million fundrais-ing effort being conducted by theFoundation on behalf of the Uni-versity.

To find out more about howyou can help WVU’s veteran stu-dents, visit http://sadevelop-ment.wvu.edu or make a gift tothe WVU Veterans Fund online atwww.mountaineerconnection.com/GivetoStudentAffairs.
