UW College of the Environment is happy to announce the following undergraduate and graduate scholarships awarded for 2017-2018!

Del Rio Endowed Environmental Studies Scholarship

The Del Rio Family Foundation established the Del Rio Endowed Scholarship Fund for Environmental Studies to encourage and support students who are interested in the environment and participating in the Educational Opportunity Program promoting academic success and graduation for under-represented ethnic minority, economically disadvantaged and first generation college students at the University of Washington. The Del Rio Family Foundation hopes that through their studies and participation in real-world environmental research and problem-solving, students will broaden their personal horizons to include issues of global concern and will develop a passion and the skill set for making a difference in the world.

Nancy Wilcox Endowed Scholarship

This scholarship is made possible by the generosity of former UW Provost Phyllis Wise, who established it to support students pursuing degrees in the College of the Environment. Dr. Wise named the endowment in honor and memory of her late sister, Nancy E. Wang Wilcox, a middle school teacher who worked to develop the minds of adolescents through creative and innovative ways of learning. This legacy inspired Dr. Wise to establish an endowment to carry on her sister’s commitment to helping others achieve their educational goals.

Clarence H. Campbell Endowed Lauren Donaldson Scholarship

Clarence H. Campbell established this scholarship in memory of Lauren “Doc” Donaldson to support students in the Schools of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, Marine and Environmental Affairs and Oceanography. Professor Donaldson earned his masters and doctoral degrees from the UW in 1931. He served on the faculty of the School of Fisheries from 1932 until his retirement in 1973. Doc was a world-renowned expert in development of fish stocks and trained countless students in freshwater fisheries research and management. Clarence Campbell, ’30, established this fund to recognize Doc’s lasting influence.
