Chancellor’s Associates are the premier group of donors recognized for their annual leadership gifts to UC San Diego.  These generous friends and supporters give $1,500 or more each year to be used at the Chancellor’s discretion to fund the university’s greatest needs—whether it’s scholarships that will help the brightest students attend UCSD, endowed chairs to attract and retain the best faculty or funding for programs and research that have the potential to change lives.

Chancellor’s Associates come from diverse backgrounds and comprise everyone from recent graduates to longtime philanthropists.  The one thing they all have in common is a commitment to UCSD and its academic and research excellence.  It is this dedication that helps make possible the extraordinary work that is happening throughout the university, whether it’s innovative scientific research or new arts programs that enrich our campus and community.
