Hello Huskies,
Do you have an innovative idea that would enhance the UW student experience? Created by students for students, the Husky Seed Fund provides up to $5,000 for you, or a small team, to pursue your passions and bring your projects to life.
The 2023 awardees were:
- Pathways for All Huskies: illuminating campus pathways everyone can navigate.
- Huskies’ Precious Plastics: transforming waste plastics into usable items.
- Eat Together: connecting students through meals together.
I encourage you to consider applying to the Husky Seed Fund (applications are due by Mar. 26).
Sincerely,
Denzil
