Supporting Graduate Education
Give to the Graduate School
Why Give to the Graduate School?
Graduate students drive research and discovery, deepen our understanding, and inspire, teach, and mentor our undergraduates.
Gifts supporting graduate education, research, and conference travel expand educational and professional opportunities for students in all disciplines.
Western has been ranked as the top public master's-granting school in Pacific Northwest for the last 23 consecutive years and among the top ten nationally for annual R&D investment. Our graduate faculty and students are actively engaged in finding solutions to problems ranging from climate change, to healthcare, education, and the economy.
Western needs your help to ensure these bright scholars have the funding they need to thrive and grow.
Current and recent graduate students at Western have been recognized nationally, regionally, and as leaders across disciplines for their excellent work. They’ve become leaders working toward solutions with global significance in sustainable energy, cancer care, the housing crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thank you for your generosity!
