The #HuskyGivingDay results are in, and we did it—YOU did it! Together, the #UWAllen community raised over $27,000 through 150+ gifts to support undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, and programs focused on student success. We are filled with gratitude for your support! 💜💛 #PoweredByYou

Only a few hours left of #HuskyGivingDay 2026! Thank you for your generous support of current and future #UWAllen students. Our community’s success is #PoweredByYou; if you haven’t participated yet, there’s still time—and still more challenge funds to unlock before midnight! 🤩 bit.ly/hgd-allen-sc...

#HuskyGivingDay update: Thanks to the generosity of our community, we recently unlocked an additional $1K in challenge funds EACH for #UWAllen undergraduate scholarships and the Student Success Fund!
