GW to Double Impact with Landmark Dollar-for-Dollar Match
GW announced a major new initiative to dramatically accelerate investments in endowed scholarships to offer critical financial support to undergraduate students. The Third Century Scholarship Endowment Match: Unlocking Access to Undergraduate Education is the most significant fundraising match in GW’s history and will double transformative new gifts to need-based, undergraduate scholarship endowments. This dollar-for-dollar match will exponentially increase scholarships for generations of GW students.
"Scholarships enable our students to realize their full potential, both in and out of the classroom, and endowed funding enables the university to support our students in perpetuity," President Mark S. Wrighton said.

STORIES FROM OUR COMMUNITY
For Geography Students, D.C. is their Classroom
Professor David Rain’s Geography Pro Seminar is a senior capstone course that combines seminar-style discussion with real-world exposure to geography challenges. Splitting into five teams, students spread out across the D.C.-area to collect data, conduct surveys and advise city agencies and stakeholders on best practice solutions as they investigate the rising demands on D.C. curbsides.
GW Premieres Four New Documentary Films
During Alumni & Families Weekend, GW premiered four short films: Gelman Library and Favorite Study Spots, GW’s Global Women’s Institute, D.C. as a Classroom and Commencement on the National Mall. Two additional films, To Bigotry, No Sanction, and GW Open Doors, were also shown. These new films highlight only-at-GW experiences that shape our lifelong community.
"Thomas Buergenthal visited my Holocaust class @GWtweets today and I’ll never forget it. It was the first time in my life hearing from a Holocaust survivor directly. Research through text is one thing. Hearing directly from the person is another."
