Reasons to Give

There are many reasons parents and families want to make a gift to their child’s college or university. Here are just a few:

Enhancing the experience. From traveling abroad to volunteering in their communities, students embark on new and exciting experiences in college. Your gifts can support programs that will enrich your child’s time at UC San Diego.

Paying it forward. Many parents and family members remember receiving scholarship or fellowship support while pursuing their degrees. Perhaps you’re one of them. You can make a gift to give other students the same opportunity you had during a pivotal time in your life.

Sparking tradition. As a parent, you often teach by example. Making a gift to UC San Diego can instill a tradition of philanthropy that will carry on to the next generation.

University pride. Express pride in your student's alma mater and make a gift to the institution you’ve entrusted with their education.

Whatever your reason for giving, your gift will have an impact on your student’s education.
