STUDENT FOUNDATION

The Student Foundation is a wonderful and thriving community of UC San Diego student trustees that, together with the guidance of the UC San Diego Foundation and UC San Diego Alumni Association, plants the seed of philanthropy amongst UC San Diego students by raising money for scholarships and other student needs.

The Student Foundation strives to be a welcoming and inclusive community that brings fellow students into the organization while encouraging students to grow more in their leadership and civic engagement. Annual events, such as “Meet the Boss,” bring talented UC San Diego alumni back to campus to connect with current students on particular fields of study or career paths. Quarterly finals care packages for students help alleviate the stress of preparing for finals, papers and projects. 

The money raised from Triton Day of Giving will go towards providing UC San Diego students with scholarship opportunities. Every dollar makes a difference. Make your gift today and empower students with scholarship support from their peers.
