The UWAA is proud to sponsor registered student organizations and ASUW commissions for up to $500 per event, per year. In exchange, your group will volunteer alongside alumni and staff at a UWAA event or program (on a mutually agreed-upon date) during the calendar year following the grant. This process allows us to learn more about all of the excellent student-run programs on campus, while student groups explore a bit of the alumni life that awaits them.
For a UW Alumni Association grant application, click here to download the application (.pdf file, Acrobat required). The UWAA will not consider sponsorships without a completed application. All event details (date, time, location, budget, etc.) must be established in advance of the request.
