Smith Surf Team Scholarship Endowment
The creation of scholarships for the UC San Diego Surf Team marks an innovative and new era for the program which will build upon student success and pave the way for more National Championships.
Between 1969 and 2019, the Surf team won seven national championships, making it one of the most successful sports organizations in UC San Diego history. The Tritons remain competitive BUT have not won a national championship in almost 20 years and they are hungry for the #1 spot.
Support for these academic scholarships is elevating the program overall and recognizing what it takes to be a “smart surfer.” The team continues to thrive and showcase success in many ways, including contributions to ocean conservation, tech boom, medicine and more.
What we will do with Giving Day donations:
Surf Scholarships support students academically while recruiting talented surf-scholars from around the country to compete for UC San Diego. The establishment of surf scholarships, coupled with being a premier university and access to Black’s Beach, UC San Diego will once again elevate itself to be the top school choice for surfers. Our goal is to raise $55,000 in honor of 55+ years of legacy and to continue the momentum towards our ultimate goal of a $312,000+ Scholarship Endowment.
