NIL Information

Our NIL initiatives will leverage UW’s platform, alumni network, and location in Seattle to provide programs, resources and mentorship to help students seize these opportunities. 

Since 2018, UW has been developing comprehensive programming to provide student-athletes with the tools, training and education needed to maximize this new opportunity through Boundless Futures and the UW is ready and prepared to take this to the next level.

UW’s purpose of providing holistic development opportunities for its students has always been why our department exists – this commitment is why the UW is a perfect environment for students to thrive in the NIL era.

WHAT IS NIL?

NIL stands for “Name, Image, and Likeness” and refers to NCAA guidance that will allow student-athletes to earn compensation for the use of their name, image or likeness. This new legislation will allow student-athletes to earn compensation in ways that were previously impermissible under NCAA rules.
