WWU ♥ Cares
Our alumni, parents, and friends have asked how they can help our community through this extraordinary time. In response to those requests — and with immense gratitude for the generous spirit of our university community — we have created a Student Emergency Fund dedicated to supporting students who have been adversely affected.
WWU Alumni Scholarships
For more than 25 years, the WWU Alumni Association has provided more than $1.3 million in scholarships to deserving Western students. Recipients of this honor are students who are making a difference in their communities, and contributing greatly to Western by actively participating in the life of the university.
