The idea of connecting with current students has always been a motivating factor for me when it comes to donating. One of the most gratifying benefits of endowing an instrument in the UW Band is that I've been able to follow my students through their collegiate careers.

Student Excellence: Graduate Student Awards

Graduate student awards are an important component in recruiting and supporting top students interested in the School’s doctoral programs in Consumer Science, Design Studies, and Human Development and Family Studies. These graduate student stipends can help overcome recent, dramatic increases in tuition and other costs. The School relies on private giving to help highly qualified graduate students initiate and complete their studies.
