Opening doors for our students' future

The Undergraduate Scholarship Program allows us to recognize outstanding achievement, encourage academic excellence, and offer support to deserving students.

Your generosity can not only help someone achieve the quality education they deserve, but can also allow a young person to pursue his or her aspirations and dreams. The students who receive UCSD scholarships are very different from one another, yet the share something in common: they are always deeply grateful of the scholarships and the opportunities it affords them.

Private gifts create the eight types of scholarships awarded at UCSD that are described below. In each type, there is an opportunity to give to the general scholarship fund or to create a personally named scholarship endowment.

• To create a personally named scholarship endowment, please contact our office (information provided at the bottom of this page). See a list of established named funds by clicking the graphic link above.
• To give to one of the general scholarship funds, click on the appropriate "Give" button below.

These scholarships are often targeted towards students that uphold the qualities that were important to the honored person.
