The Washington State University Honors College is the university's newest college. Formerly known as the Honors Program, the University Honors College carries on the tradition of academic excellence providing honors students with a world class and face-to-face undergraduate experience.
Now, more than ever,
private giving is crucial in building excellence for our students. Your
support will ensure the future of the Honors College and provide the necessary
resources to enhance the richness of our students' learning experience.
Honors College
Development Fund
The Honors College Development Fund was established by
the generous alumni and friends of the Honors College to provide annual
funds for enhancing the learning experiences of our students and providing
our faculty with additional resources to expand and refine the courses
they teach. Gifts to the Development Fund support programs that form the
basis of the Honors College experience for our students. For example,
this fund provides funding for honors students to participate in the Model
UN in New York, to attend the National Collegiate Honors Conference in
Washington DC, and to participate in the Honors Students' Advisory Council.

In January a $30,000 bequest from the estate of Honors alumna Kathryn Grant (Pharm. '76) established the first unrestricted scholarship fund in the Honors College. In a letter to former Director Dr. Bhatia with her first donation to Honors in 1976, she wrote: "I always told myself that I would start giving to Honors when I had a paying job as an alum. As of tomorrow, I will be getting my first paycheck as an alumnus and my excuses for not giving are no longer valid!" Through planned giving, she made a lasting legacy for future students through this scholarship fund.
The need for such
a fund has never been greater. Students graduating from WSU in 2004
who were eligible to receive financial aid graduated with an average
debt of nearly $20,000. This year, students who applied for Honors scholarships
had $434,000 of unmet financial need. Honors had $35,000 to award from
its endowed scholarship funds.
Scholarships provided by private donors are often the only way in which
qualified students can afford a WSU education. Please consider supporting
an Honors student by a scholarship gift, whether it is an annual gift,
an endowment, a charitable trust, or a bequest. To give to the Honors
