Explore how discretionary funding impacts the College
From accelerating research advancements, to supporting faculty and student success, to constructing the new home for chemistry at the UW, The Arts and Sciences College Fund for Excellence enables us remain nimble and excellent in the face of an ever-changing world.
Student Success
Programs like gesture and College Edge provide our students with opportunities to gain holistic, real-world experiences, engage in meaningful work beyond the classroom, and be well prepared to connect classroom learning to future careers.
Faculty Support
As some of the brightest minds in their fields, our faculty are instrumental in advancing research, teaching promising students, and making our institution a top destination for distinguished academics.
Research Acceleration
Bold discoveries ignite when arts and sciences converge. By blurring traditional boundaries, we open space across academic disciplines for new research, deeper dialogue, expansive expression, and collective innovation. 
Chemical Sciences Building
In a new Chemical Sciences Building, we will build a nexus of creative science. An incubator beyond disciplines, where learners and experts ask questions together. Those questions will birth novel research—and that research will become the solutions that change our tomorrow.
