The Department of Psychology staff and faculty established a special matching fund that will make your donation go farther!
Here's how it works: Once 35 donations are received to any psychology scholarship or fund on Give Day, then $1,000 in matching funds contributed by the Psychology staff and faculty will be unlocked. Once the threshold of 35 donations has been met, all additional donations are eligible for a match from WWU (percentage to be determined by WWU after Give Day)!
These matching funds will support student research and conference presentations. Student participation in research activities and attendance at professional academic conferences is vital as they learn about and make contributions to the field, and for when applying for employment and graduate school.
In 2023-2024, Give Day donations to the Psychology Department allowed more than 25 students to present their research at regional, national, and international conferences and network with professionals in the field! More than $10,000 of Give Day donations supported student conference travel and advanced their professional development and career outlook! Thank you!
