Chancellor’s Associates Endowment Challenge
Thanks to the generosity of alumni Sandy Timmons ’81, and her husband, Rick Sandstrom ’72, MS ’76, PhD ’79, this exceptional initiative allows qualifying endowment gifts to have 25% more impact on UC San Diego students!
GOLD Alumni Making an Impact
Have you graduated from UC San Diego within the last ten years? We invite you to join our community of changemakers dedicated to helping underrepresented students thrive on campus. Right now, thanks to Chancellor’s Associates alumni donors Sandy Timmons ’81, Rick Sandstrom ’72, MS ’76, PhD ’79, Jerri Malana ’86, Jonathan Asch ’94 and Gillian Hemingway, and Christopher Ficara ’06, qualifying gifts from Graduates of the Last Decade will be matched dollar-for-dollar and have double the impact.
About Us
Chancellor’s Associates catalyze nontradition at UC San Diego. In partnership with Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla, we continually advance access to higher education, through our scholarship program, with fundraising that has generated over $16.7 million since 2013 and provided more than 2,500 scholarships. Through annual gifts and endowment initiatives (including the game-changing Chancellor’s Associates Endowment Challenge, which offers a $1 million match), we provide the philanthropic support that breaks boundaries and levels the playing field for aspiring learners — in short, we change lives. And we stand ready to make even more academic dreams take flight with your help.
Our Priorities
Scholarships
More than 1,200 Chancellor’s Associates Scholars are currently in our program, but additional awards await funding. Many of our community’s brightest standouts will be able to attend UC San Diego only if they have support from visionary philanthropists like you. Help us open academic doors and change even more lives.
Student Success
From day one, our awardees have access to support services geared toward their long-term success, through the Chancellor's Associates Scholars Program (CASP). We want every one of this year’s 355 incoming students to thrive, on campus and beyond.
