Your student is at UC Santa Cruz to learn and grow. The Parents' Fund ensures they have the community, resources, and experiences to do it fully.
The Parents' Fund supports the experiences that happen beyond the classroom—the student organizations, resource centers, internship programs, field research, and hands-on learning that turn college into a foundation for life.
There are countless places across this campus where students discover who they are. A research lab on the coast. A student-run publication. A cultural center that feels like home. A field course that changes everything. The Parents' Fund reaches all of it. Your contribution directly supports:
- Student organizations where students find their people and build community
- Resource centers that serve students' whole selves, academically and personally
- Internship opportunities that connect coursework to career
- Field work and research that can only happen outside four walls
- Experiential education programs that deepen understanding and build lasting confidence
When students find their community, their time here becomes more meaningful, and they leave better prepared and more confident.
College is more than a degree. The relationships students form, the projects they throw themselves into, and the moments of discovery outside the lecture hall shape the people they become. The Parents' Fund makes sure every student has access to that fuller experience.
Make your student's experience extraordinary. Your gift to the Parents' Fund goes directly to the programs and spaces that help students thrive in the classroom and beyond.
