FEATURED HUSKIES FROM THE 14TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

"My experience as a Husky here at UW has been everything and more. Entering my senior year, I reflect on my time so far and feel immense gratitude for the opportunities I've received. Being from Central Washington, moving to Seattle can feel intimidating, but the community I’ve built at UW has made it anything but that. My time as a Husky has been extremely rewarding and I truly could not picture myself anywhere else."

SERVING THE 14TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

The UW facilitates hundreds of programs in communities across the state. Below are a few that operate in your district. Programs active as of January 2023.

UW RISE UP/SKY GEAR UP

RISE UP/SKY GEAR UP is a federal grant program that provides middle and high school students from low-income families in the Skagit, Klickitat and Yakima valleys with the support they need to access and succeed in college. Beginning in sixth and seventh grades, students join a program cohort for the next seven years. The program focuses on helping students enter STEM fields, providing tutoring, mentoring, financial aid instruction, college and educational field trips, teacher professional development and parent empowerment.

UW in the High School

Through the UW in the High School program, high school sophomores, juniors and seniors can complete University of Washington courses — and earn college credit — in their own classrooms with their own teachers. Teachers are approved and trained by UW faculty to teach official UW courses using UW curriculum, activities, texts, tests and grading scales. Participating students can earn college credits at a fraction of the cost, and these credits are accepted by most colleges and universities across Washington and around the country. Partner high schools can offer UW coursework in computer science, math, science, world languages, humanities and social sciences. Check out which schools UW in the High School is partnering with in your area.
