New Support for Seattle MESA Students

We are grateful to announce a new fund of support for Seattle MESA’s students, established through a grant from The Russell Family Foundation. The monies will fund scholarships for Seattle MESA (Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement) students, who are part of the program now housed in the College of the Environment. Seattle MESA provides middle and high school students, many from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with innovative, hands-on opportunities in STEM fields. We are excited that these new funds will offer monetary assistance to Seattle MESA students to continue their educations at two and four-year colleges and universities, with the ultimate aim of enhancing a vibrant, inclusive STEM community of career professionals in the greater Seattle area. We thank The Russell Family Foundation for their support.  If you would like to make your own gift to the fund, please visit the UW Foundation webpage.
