At UC San Diego, our students are anything but ordinary. And we are committed to ensuring the next
generation of changemakers has access to an education that will empower them to transform our world.
Our Student Support and Success efforts are a critical campaign priority, and ongoing support for a broad
range of scholarships and fellowships ensure that we continue to attract and retain a student community
that is talented, ambitious, curious, inclusive and reflective of California’s diversity.
Your support can make a bigger difference now thanks to several complementary challenge matches that will increase the impact of gifts to support scholarships and fellowships.
At the University of California San Diego, challenging convention is our most cherished tradition. Your support of scholarships and fellowships also supports the Campaign for UC San Diego — our university-wide comprehensive fundraising effort concluding in 2022. Together, we are enhancing student support, ensuring student success, transforming our campus, connecting our community, and redefining medicine and health care on a global scale.

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.
And gifts to Chancellor’s Associates may also take advantage of additional matching funds, thanks to the
Karen and Jeff Silberman Chancellor’s Associates Inspiration Challenge II and the Timmons/Sandstrom
Chancellor’s Associates Endowment Challenge.
The permanent and sustained nature
of endowed gifts makes them uniquely
impactful by benefiting students
now and creating a stable foundation
for planning and future growth.
An endowed fund is created with a
gift for the purpose of generating a
permanent source of payout annually.
The gift principal is invested to grow
in perpetuity, and the payout is a
calculation designed to preserve the
purchasing power of the payout and
provide predictable annual allocations
to beneficiaries.
Current use gifts offer expendable,
immediate resources for our academic
leaders as they structure financial
support packages for promising
undergraduate and graduate student
applicants. Annual gifts made at regular
intervals are also a critical part of our
efforts to support our students — and
when combined with the gifts of other
annual donors, these contributions can
make an even larger impact.
All new current use outright gifts or pledges of $10,000 or more to any of the
funds listed below are eligible for the match:
• UC San Diego Undergraduate Scholarships (2222)
• UC San Diego Graduate Fellowships (1538)
• UC San Diego School of Medicine Scholarships (7062)
• Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science
Scholarships (7061)
• Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Scholarships (4417)

Established by Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla in 2013, our Chancellor’s Associates Scholars Program was designed to increase
access to higher education for underserved students who are often the first in their families to attend college. These scholarships
offer four-year $10,000/year scholarships to low-income first-year enrollees graduating from underserved high schools across
our region or two-year $10,000/year scholarships to eligible transfer students from select San Diego and Imperial Valley
community colleges, as well as registered members of federally recognized tribes in California.
Chancellor Khosla’s dedication to increasing access to higher education inspired some of our campus’ strongest advocates to
launch a pair of challenge matches designed to encourage our community to support our scholarship efforts and exponentially
expand funding for our Chancellors Associates Scholars.
