Student Support and Success

At UC San Diego, we live and learn without limits. And our Student Support and Success Initiative will build on — and expand — critically important programs that ensure learning is affordable and accessible for all. The Chancellor’s Scholarship and Fellowship Challenge, announced in February 2021 by Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla, provides a $1 match per $2 of gift up to $5,000,000 for eligible gifts to undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, and health-related professional school scholarships through the close of the Campaign for UC San Diego on June 30, 2022.

Help us revolutionize what possibility means for our students. Watch the video below to learn more about how our Student Support and Success efforts are empowering the next generation to achieve their goals at UC San Diego and beyond:

Colleges

UC San Diego is unique among UC campuses in that we offer a small college experience in a large university setting. Each of our six colleges provides undergraduate students a community with its own residence halls, student services, traditions and even graduation ceremonies. You can help our students by supporting unrestricted college funds.
