History

The UW Nikkei Alumni Association (UWNAA) has a rich history that spans many generations of Nikkei huskies. Established in 1922, the UWNAA is celebrating over 90 years of commitment and service to the Nikkei and University of Washington communities.

Since 1965, when the SYNKOA house was sold to the University of Washington, the UWNAA has given away over 375 scholarships amounting to over $450,000 to deserving University of Washington Nikkei students. The UW Nikkei Alumni Association is open to all Nikkei graduates. We welcome all to join us and carry on the rich and proud tradition of the organization.
