I want to know what is the best way to purchase data/minutes for this device? I use Pre-paid Unlimted for my IPhione 6s. Can I use that plan to or do I need to purchase something different now that I have Wi-Fi + 4G Verizon...does that mean I must purchase a Verizon Plan? I am buying it from a University Surplus Store

DO NOT PURCHASE this nearly 8-year old iPad 4th generation!
DO NOT!
These old 8 and 9-year old iPads will be rendered fully and completely obsolete by the end of 2020!
There are, virtually, NO MORE older, compatible, popular, third party apps available for initial download/install from Apple’s IOS App Store, any longer!
These old 8 and 9-year old iPads ARE DONE!
These old iPads are, essentially useless, now!
Here's why and what you will need to do about it in 2020!

Sorry, but this is the harsh reality for these 8 and 9-year old, OR OLDER, iOS devices now in 2020!
Time for a new, new or used refurbished or much, MUCH “newer” ( read used ) iPad model!
Sorry, but this is what you will need to do, now.
You will need to purchase an iPad that can run the latest and greatest versions of iOS, as well as, the most current apps available, from Apple or a discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple’s Refurbished & Clearance section of Apple’s Website.

OR
A new or refurbished iPad from an Apple authorised, third party retail or online reseller OR other trusted sources for new or used Apple products.
If you decide to purchase an iPad and must purchase older, used iPad models, DO NOT look at anything older than a 2014 iPad Air 2 or 2015 iPad Mini 4.
Both of these models are the oldest iPad models that the up and coming iPadOS 14 will support, in the Fall of 2020.
If you must purchased used devices from unknown sources, you must ask A WHOLE LOT more questions of the iOS device seller, ask for more photo/images, ask if the iPad has user/iCloud activation lock and ask for photos/images/short video proof, ANY REAL VISUAL PROOF, that such an iPad has been reset to factory settings and shown proof of the iOS device's start up screen showing the animated, moving, multi-language “Hello” Welcome to iPad screen.
If the iOS device seller is unwilling to do all of this to show you that the iPad, in question, is ready to use with no barriers to new user activation and use, pass on the iOS device and look at other iOS device sellers, elsewhere, who will be more accommodating to answering questions and providing visual image or video proof of a proper factory reset iPad.
Good Luck to You!
