Are you a future applicant for the Mary Gates Leadership and Research Scholarships?

  • Take some time to explore the resources on our website, attend an info session or watch our newly added info session recordings (available on our “Get Started” page). These info sessions cover most of the general questions applicants usually have.

  • If you would like support with your application materials ahead of the Autumn 2026 deadline, we look forward to supporting you through our workshops. Please sign up for our workshops here.

  •  As you explore the Mary Gates Leadership and Research Scholarships and develop your application materials, take note of any more specific questions you may have and ask them when you meet with an advisor during a workshop. You can also reach out to mgates@uw.edu with any questions that may not be answered on our website pages.
