Why did the UW create the Husky Promise?
For too many of our state’s students, college seems far beyond their financial reach. Though they are academically qualified, many talented high school students do not attend college because they believe they cannot afford the tuition. That’s why the UW created the Husky Promise, a guarantee to the citizens of Washington that those who come from low- and lower-middle-income families can gain a world-class education at any of our three campuses — Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma — and not pay a penny for tuition and fees.
