Many are also proud alumni, generous donors and avid Husky fans. Others choose UW Medicine for their care, attend UW Arts events or plan family outings at The Burke, The Henry or the UW Arboretum.<\/p>\n<p>An appreciation for the role of education in society and lifelong learning connect us to each other and the UW. It is in this spirit, that we invite staff to consider supporting one of the two scholarship funds available to staff or their family members attending UW. Contributions can be of any amount and given one time or over a period of time. The number of scholarships available will increase as the amount of contributions to the fund increases.<\/p>\n<p>Information on how to apply for these scholarship funds endowed by or in honor of former UW employees is also provided below.<\/p>\n<h4>The Service Employees Opportunity Scholarship<\/h4>\n<p>The Service Employees Opportunity Scholarship recognizes the contributions of service employees to the well-being of the University of Washington.
