CHANCELLOR'S ASSOCIATES

Ability is random. Access is not. 

Chancellor’s Associates believe that education, and higher education in particular, is the great leveler for people of all backgrounds. It helps provide unparalleled opportunities for social mobility and personal development during this critical stage of life and drives societal change that benefits us all. 

We are a community of supporters, including alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends, who partner with Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla to address UC San Diego’s most urgent priority: broadening access to higher education. Since 2013, more than 2,500 Chancellor’s Associates scholarships have been awarded to high-achieving students with financial need, who are often the first in their families to attend college. 

When combined with the University of California’s Blue + Gold Opportunity Plan which covers fees for California residents whose families earn less than $80,000/year and qualify for financial aid — a $10,000 Chancellor’s Associates Scholarship effectively provides a full scholarship to UC San Diego. 

Please consider a gift to Chancellor’s Associates Scholarships today and help us meet our goal of funding a scholar for a full academic year. By investing in Chancellor’s Associates Scholarships, you can provide the opportunity of a university education to students who may not be able to afford it.

This year on Triton Giving Day, any gift from GOLD Alumni (2014 – 2023) to Chancellor’s Associates Scholarships will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000. This match is generously funded by Wesley S. Low ’87 and Sophia F. Lum ’91 in honor of Mr. Poy Low.
