Alumni Association Scholarship Fund

In 1991, a group of visionary UCSC alumni saw that students’ financial needs were growing and jumped at the opportunity to help. With five gifts totaling just over $600, they started the Alumni Association Scholarship Fund. This fund continues to support students today, but financial needs have increased exponentially since then, and your help is needed now more than ever.

The Alumni Association Scholarship Fund supports high-achieving students working hard to earn their degree while navigating financial hardship. Alumni volunteers select new students to receive scholarships each year. Every student selected receives an annual award of $3,000 until they graduate, as long as they maintain a good academic standing.
