The UW Graduate School supports and empowers the next generation of scholars, researchers and leaders. As a tri-campus partner with academic units, we provide critical advocacy, funding and programming to support our students.
This Husky Giving Day, we are highlighting three units and programs within the Graduate School where amazing things are happening. We believe in the transformative power of graduate education to address today’s global challenges. With your support of graduate education and graduate students, we can give to student success and to public good. Thank you for your support!
Neuroscience
Neuroscience provides broad accessible training in neuroscience to our students, capitalizing on the diverse set of research interests of our faculty. Your support helps sustain graduate education, cultivate networking opportunities, strengthen recruitment and outreach, support student conference attendance and foster student activities. Learn more about how your gift helps us reach our goals.
“The University of Washington’s Graduate Program in Neuroscience provides unparalleled support to foster and train the next generation of neuroscientists. The program’s mentorship and community have been instrumental in my work researching Alzheimer’s disease and throughout my PhD journey.”
– Randall Eck, current student
Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB)
As an interdisciplinary graduate program jointly offered by the UW and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, MCB has created a wonderful community who are inspired and trained to address the world’s most challenging biological problems. We know this would not be possible without fellowships that provide professional development opportunities and financial support for our talented students.
Our fellowship funds:
- Molecular and Cellular Biology Late Career Internship: To provide financial assistance to 4th and 5th year MCB students to undertake an internship prior to graduating.
- Molecular and Cellular Biology Student Relocation Fellowship: This fund provides financial assistance to prospective MCB students to offset the costs of relocating to Seattle.
Office of Graduate Student Equity and Excellence (GSEE)
GSEE, formerly GO-MAP, fellowships and awards have been integral in recruiting and supporting graduate students from marginalized communities for 54 years and counting. We help ensure historically underrepresented graduate students feel welcome, supported and connected at the UW through outreach, community building and career development opportunities.

We understand the importance of investing in equity and are asking you – our friends, alumni, and supporters – to join us in our mission of making graduate education accessible to all.
This Husky Giving Day, we are grateful to receive an anonymous donation challenge — 10 gifts of any size will unlock $5,000 in support of GSEE.
