Faculty-Staff-Retiree Campaign for Students

Antoinette Wills has been at the University for thirty-six years, starting as a graduate student in history in 1970. Read More >> In May of 2005 the University established a special initiative designed to enable faculty, staff and retirees to support students in an extraordinary way. With a minimum contribution of $5,000, you can create a named endowment and the University will match your gift 1:1 (with a maximum match of $10,000). Your named endowment can be used to create:

• Fellowships for Graduate Students
• Professional Graduate Student Scholarships
• Undergraduate Scholarships
• Student Program Support Scholarships

You can make an outright gift or you may choose to fulfill your pledge over the next five years. Once you have created and named your endowment, you can continue to add to the fund over time, increasing the value of the endowment and the size of the fellowship or scholarship that is awarded.

Establishing an endowed fund can be a wonderful way to honor or remember a colleague, friend, or mentor. Through your generosity, your named endowment will provide a lasting legacy to future generations of UW students.

For more information on making a pledge, please contact Kim Johnson-Bogart at 206.221.4337.
