Parents Campaign
Parents of GW students are a vital part of the University family. The Parents Campaign plays an important role in building a diverse student body and an exemplary educational experience through support of undergraduate scholarships and multidisciplinary programming.
Donations from parents, as well as from alumni and friends, make available the financial resources to:
- Provide financial assistance to qualified students
- Fund research facilities and capital projects
- Invest in faculty excellence
- Enhance athletics, arts, and other extra-curricular activities
- Develop one-of-a-kind internships and career exploration
We encourage parents to make a gift – which can be allocated to a specific school, residential-life area, career center or a program or activity.
Parents are also invited to become members of the Parents Campaign Philanthropy Board and become volunteer leaders, inspiring others and serving as active members of the GW community.
For more information, please contact the Parents Campaign at PC1821@gwu.edu or 202-994-3229.
