Recreational activity and the ability to balance academics with physical engagement is paramount to the success of our students. Through our programs, students strive to build communities and experiences outside of the classroom, control stress levels, and set healthy habits for the rest of their lives.
UW Recreation wants every student to be able to join or participate in a recreational class, program, or activity. We also have an unwavering commitment to access for all students, and believe that socioeconomic barriers should not prevent any student from participation.
Thanks to the support of the Student Recreation Fund, each quarter we ensure every student has the opportunity to apply for Recreation financial awards to make meaningful participation a reality.

- You must use the award within the quarter it is offered. If selected, you will receive funding for 75% of the cost of one offering per quarter, up to a maximum of $100.
- The award is non-transferable.
- If selected, you will be responsible for the difference in price between the award and the full cost. We accept checks, money orders (for the exact amount), Husky Card, or credit card (except AMEX) as forms of payment.
- Receiving an award does not guarantee space in your requested activity, class, and/or program.
- You should wait to purchase your desired offering until after you receive SRF funding as we do not issue refunds. If you are worried about space filling up in your preferred offering, we encourage you to submit your application by the first deadline.
