Current Funding Priorities
The Washington State University Spokane campus has identified the following funds as the highest priorities for the campus at this time:
Vice President of Health Sciences’ Scholarship
Scholarships are awarded annually to health sciences students enrolled in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, nutrition and exercise physiology, and speech and hearing. Scholarship funding enables students to realize the freedom to participate fully in leadership opportunities, research, academic clubs, and civic engagement.
WSU Spokane Chancellor’s Excellence Fund
This fund supports the most urgent needs in teaching, research, and scholarship at WSU Spokane. Unrestricted funds enable quick action in the face of unanticipated needs and help to ensure continuity in educational and research excellence.
Gleason Institute for Neuroscience
WSU’s Gleason Institute for Neuroscience is taking an integrated approach to research and care for those suffering from ALS and other debilitating neurogenerative diseases. Investment will support research, care, and exposure to adaptive technology for patients, families, and their caregivers.
Native American Health Sciences Fund
The Center for Native American Health was established in 2021 and supports students, faculty, and clinicians who identify as Native American through an interprofessional curriculum designed to integrate indigenous-based cultural traditions and history with medicine. Support will provide transformational opportunities for Native American students and will aid in student academic success while providing a culturally holistic centered space for our communities to engage.
Other WSU Spokane Funds
WSU Spokane Student Services Fund
Cougs help Cougs! When students face personal hardships or have unexpected financial needs, the support of our Coug family can make a difference. Investment in this fund provides broad assistance to students and supports financial assistance with housing, access to the Campus Pantry, and our Grocery Reimbursement program.
Health Sciences Research Excellence Fund
Research funding has tripled since our founding as a health sciences campus in 2010. This fund supports our faculty and student research efforts. Symposiums, lectures, along with professional development and opportunities to disseminate research are all areas that benefit from your investment.
