Support UW Psychology
We need your help to maintain and improve our programs and service to students and society. Your gift can help fund these top priorities.
Support top graduate students
Every year, we compete with the top Psychology departments in the country for the nation's best graduate students. The biggest problem we face in this competition is a lack of summer support and research fellowships to allow our graduate students to pursue innovative research and service projects—and survive the high cost of living in the Seattle area. You can help by contributing to any of the graduate support funds.
Improve undergraduate education
Our Psychology major is one of the best in the country, offering students opportunities to work at internships, participate in community fieldwork, and work with faculty on cutting-edge research projects. We also offer support to our undergraduates through Honors Program research funding, the Psychology Writing Center, the Statistics and Methodology Lab, SmartPsych, and the brand new Psychology Study Center. We also provide various social and learning opportunities to our students, such as workshops throughout the year on careers in psychology, how to apply for graduate schools, and the Psychology majors graduate ceremony. These activities all require scarce departmental funds from budgets that have been repeatedly cut over the past few years. You can join us in supporting these programs by contributing to the Friends of Psychology Fund.
Attract and retain the best faculty
Our continued success depends on attracting the best new faculty. The cost of recruiting the top prospects is high and only partly covered by our regular budgets. You can help by contributing to Friends of Psychology. Because of the accomplishments of our existing faculty, they are heavily recruited by other institutions. Both graduate support funds and endowed professorships help to retain our best faculty and make them most productive.
You can help us accomplish these goals by contributing to one of our support funds. Use the UW secure online donation system or mail a check, payable to the University of Washington, to the following address:
