Since 1946, the UW Alumnae Board has raised more than $1.2 million and awarded more than 800 one-year, full-tuition scholarships. In 2004, the UWAB was granted Laureate status by the University of Washington for having raised more than $1 million for student scholarships.

Thanks to the UW Foundation, it's now easier than ever to make a gift to the UWAB. But your time is equally valuable. With your help, UWAB scholarships reward promising UW students and are available to UW men and women, freshman through senior year.
