About the School

The Graduate School seeks to honor the rich traditions of graduate education and to ensure high standards in all of our degree-granting programs while maintaining a responsive ear to the voices of graduate students. Gifts to the Graduate School support graduate fellowships across campus and innovative initiatives in graduate education. Your support allows the University of Washington to remain competitive in attracting top students.

The Graduate School has identified four goals in the effort to enhance fellowship support for graduate students and develop and sustain programs that add value to graduate degrees. These goals focus on:

The Best and Brightest Students
By attracting high-caliber graduate students to work on research and teaching projects, the University can continue to draw and engage top faculty, which in turn benefits undergraduate students.

Future Professional Leaders
Training the best minds through superior degree and supplemental programs to become leaders for the 21st Century, not only as faculty, but in professional fields that sustain the knowledge economy for our region and the nation.

Diversity
Instilling a culture in which students from varied backgrounds are able to pursue graduate education in all fields to bring varied points of view to their training and future leadership roles.

Access
Offering graduate education opportunities for those who would not otherwise be able to afford it, particularly in fields that are typically underfunded or do not offer future high economic status.

During Campaign UW, the Graduate School seeks funds to support graduate fellowships with a Campaign goal of $17 million. To learn more about our specific Campaign priorities, please contact Robin Knight, Assistant Director of Development.

Annual Support

Your unrestricted gift to the Graduate Dean's Discretionary Fund allows the Dean to provide critical funds to meet the School's highest priority needs and emerging opportunities as they arise, improving the excellence of the School and the University.
