Diversity & Student Programs
Together, these programs provide financial, social, academic and cultural support to engineering students. They recruit top high school students to UW engineering, with an emphasis on reaching underrepresented populations in the field and in the programs. And they help students launch their careers with mentoring and hands-on work experience.
Also see Diversity at UW for campus-wide programs and information.
