Your Generosity is Important!
Through the generous support of Town & Gown members, 233 UC San Diego students have received scholarships based on their status as juniors or seniors, with high financial need, high merit, and a promise to make a difference in their communities. Twenty-three additional scholars will be awarded $6,000 Town & Gown scholarships for the academic year 2025-26.
By supporting Town & Gown scholarships, you are empowering the next generation of leaders, innovators, and decision-makers, who will take on the challenges of the future.
There are many options for you to make a difference in the lives of these deserving UC San Diego students:
-
Gifts to the Town & Gown Scholarship Fund (current-use scholarship) are pooled with donations from other members to provide $6,000 awards.
-
Gifts to any of the Town & Gown Scholarship endowments become part of the “principal” which is never spent. It is invested, and the earnings each year are awarded as scholarships. Gifts to an endowment, therefore, create a perpetual legacy.

Start your perpetual legacy
Members may begin to build their own named Scholarship Endowment Fund with an initial minimum gift of $5,000.
When you establish a Named Town & Gown Scholarship—when the principal reaches $50,000—the fund has reached minimum endowment and a portion of the annual earnings is awarded to a Scholar each year, named in your honor.
