The solid foundation I received at UW has opened many doors for me. I think it is important to give while you are 'alive and taking nourishment,' and it will be such a joy to see the new building on its completion.

Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Fellowships

Training of future scientists is fundamental to the mission and intellectual climate of the Waisman Center. Financial support for fellowships is a key variable in attracting the most talented scholars. An endowment of $2 million would yield sufficient annual revenue to provide three doctoral fellowships or two post-doctoral fellowships to outstanding trainees who will benefit from apprenticeships with leading researchers and eventually shape the science of the future.
