INVEST IN THE SCHOOL OF IAS
Advancing Civic & Community Engagement
By supporting the UW Bothell School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (IAS), you partner with us in our commitment to the equitable and sustainable development of the region. We realize this commitment by educating our diverse student body to become leaders and change-makers in their careers and communities, and by promoting teaching and research that advance democratic values through civic and community engagement.
Access is critical to this mission. As one of the largest schools on a campus where the majority of students are the first in their family to attend college, eligible for need-based financial aid, and/or students-of-color, we are positioned to have a transformational impact on the region in which we all live and work. Your gift will help us eliminate financial barriers to students’ full participation in these educational opportunities.
89% of current students are from the state of Washington
48% of incoming students are the first in their families to earn a four-year degree
Educational Access and Opportunity
