The nurse at your doctor’s office. The social worker who helped find your mother long-term care. The architect who designed your home. Your child’s ninth-grade teacher. From engineers creating a new generation of robots to scientists helping land rovers on Mars to the people who create life-saving treatments, graduate education impacts each of our lives, every day.
A graduate education gives people the tools and connections they need to make a difference in our communities, from the neighborhoods of Seattle to the towns of Washington and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Graduate students are an integral part of the University of Washington. They teach classes, make discoveries in labs and further their fields of study.
Make a Difference
Fellowships
By making a donation to the UW Graduate School’s Fellowship Fund, you can make a real difference. Your gift will help a student pay for tuition and books so he or she can focus on studying, teaching, learning and discovering.
Investing in a graduate student is an investment in the future, our future. Graduate students are tomorrow’s leaders and innovators — the people who can help make our communities even better places to live.
The Graduate Student Research Resilience Fund
Graduate education is more than a degree—it’s a driving force for the public good. At the University of Washington, graduate students are the researchers, problem-solvers and innovators shaping a better future. Their work impacts public health, environmental sustainability, education, technology and the arts—and their insights help build more just and equitable communities.
This fund ensures that graduate students can continue their work, even in the face of shifting financial landscapes. Administered by the Graduate School, this flexible, university-wide fund provides both immediate and long-term support for graduate research and the infrastructure that sustains it.
