Why support the School of Educational Studies?
As a School, we are deeply committed to the fight for racial and social justice in education. Our core and teacher education courses focus on issues of educational equity, multicultural education, understanding the relationship between culture, identity and learning, and teaching Tribal sovereignty. All of our courses place a high value on our future teachers understanding the politics of education and how issues of racial and social injustice manifest in our educational institutions. One of the core goals of our teacher education program is for our graduates to come away with understanding their important role as powerful agents of change.
Give to the UW Bothell School of Educational Studies. Your generous donation will help advance racial justice in education and diversify the teaching force in Washington State.

Scholarship Story
Hayley Hillson embraced the challenge of being the first staff member of the new Education program. Hayley was at the heart of the school’s work for many years. She was known for her brilliant navigation of University systems and had a gift for forging paths through the obstacles that students, faculty and colleagues often encountered in their work studies and work.
We are thrilled to announce that a very generous donor has made an anonymous contribution to establish the Hayley Hillson Memorial Scholarship Endowment for the School of Educational Studies. The donor was inspired to create the endowment in Hayley’s memory to lessen financial difficulties for students who share Hayley’s commitment to striving for excellence in support of others. In addition, the donor has made this commitment with a request that we share the news of this endowment with those that were touched by Hayley during their time at UW Bothell in hope that you would be inspired to do the same.

Scholarship Story
Dr. Mark Wicks and Dr. Bradley Portin have established an endowed scholarship in memory of their fathers, two exceptional men who loved their families and believed in the power of education to enhance life and society. Leslie Wicks and Vernon Portin, as part of “the Greatest Generation,” served their country and community in many ways.
While not pursuing college degrees themselves, they were tireless in supporting the further degree aspirations of their children — several of whom became life-long educators.
Leslie Wicks and Vernon Portin never had a chance to meet but shared rural roots, common values, gentle natures and supporting those around them. To honor them, this scholarship is established to support first-generation university students in the field of education.
