Emil Czul leaves $4 million to WVU for engineering scholarships

A $4 million gift to WVU will help two Oak Hill High School graduates go to school every year.

Emil Czul (pronounced “Sewell”), a WVU alumnus and 1950 graduate of Oak Hill High School, left that money to the university to create two endowed, full-ride scholarships that will be awarded each calendar year to financially needy students from Oak Hill High School, according to a press release from the WVU Foundation.

Czul died last November in Kissimmee, Fla. He was 85. The scholarships will go to engineering students.

Czul worked as a bricklayer for three years and enlisted in the U.S. Army for two years before enrolling at WVU, where he earned his degree in mechanical engineering in 1960. He worked with the U.S. government in Virginia before retiring in 1988.
