CHARLESTON, W.Va. — U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced $657,000 from the U.S. Department of Education (DoE) to Shepherd University.

In total, Senator Capito secured $250,950,000 in direct spending measures for initiatives and projects across West Virginia through the FY 2023 appropriations omnibus package.
“I’m pleased to have secured this funding to help West Virginia develop the next generation of K-12 teachers at Shepherd University. This program, entitled “The Write Way Forward: West Virginia Students Succeed” emphasizes the importance and development of writing for students and teachers. I’m looking forward to seeing how these funds will help foster our educational system in a post-pandemic environment to meet the needs of our state,” Senator Capito said.
