FY2026 Financial Plan

The FY2026 Financial Plan is shaped by WVU's incentive-based budget model, which supports University priorities by identifying resource pools for unit-level subsidies, growth strategies and other key initiatives. For Fiscal Year 2026, University leadership is proposing a budget that reflects a positive net position of $18.1 million on an accrual basis. On a cash basis, while there is a decline of $15.5 million, the impact on Days Cash On Hand is minimal.

This financial plan demonstrates WVU’s success in increasing revenue streams and reallocating resources to sustain core priorities. It accommodates increased health insurance costs, continued investment in IT infrastructure, enhanced support for athletics and a modest salary increase for faculty and staff. These targeted investments are essential as WVU positions itself for sustainable growth and continued excellence.
