Thanks for eight great years! This spring marks the close of the Husky Seed Fund; this award brought to life innovative ideas by students that are inclusive, impactful and inventive to the UW. The fund launched as a pilot program for students on the Seattle campus in 2016 and since expanded to include the Bothell and Tacoma campuses. The fund was managed by students on the Husky Experience Student Advisory Council with funds from the Office of the Provost. Created by students for students, the goal was to bring to life innovative ideas by awarding funds for projects that will enhance students’ extracurricular experience.
The winners of the Husky Seed Fund were students who embraced their Husky experience. They made their passions come to life, and gained the skills they need to prepare for rewarding careers in industry, community and life. As you learn more about their projects, we encourage you to do the same — make the most of your Husky experience.
The Husky Seed Fund launched twenty-one projects; six are still thriving, and many have received statewide or nationwide recognition. In total, the program served eighty students (undergraduate and graduate) as council members to run the fund and thirty-nine student (undergraduate and graduate) awardees. Thanks, all!
