Our Story

Since 1966, Chancellor’s Associates have sought to facilitate change at UC San Diego. We are a diverse team of community champions — including alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends — connected by our dedication to proactive philanthropy. Together, we partner with Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla in addressing his leading priority: broadening access to higher education and cultivating student success. By Increasing our scholars’ chances for attending college loan-free, we enrich their learning experience, heighten their campus engagement, and facilitate their development as the innovators of tomorrow.

Our Priorities

Scholarships

Nearly 1,100 Chancellor’s Associates Scholars are thriving in our program, but a funding gap remains. Many more of California’s brightest standouts will be able to attend UC San Diego only if they have key support from visionary philanthropists, like you. With your support, we can ensure an exceptional UC San Diego education for high-achieving students who may otherwise compromise.

Support Our Scholars

Student Success

Even before they arrive on campus, our 350+ new scholars have access to support services geared toward their long-term success through the Chancellor’s Associates Scholars Program (CASP). These wrap-around services included peer mentorship, individualized financial aid and academic counseling, guaranteed university housing, priority enrollment and more.
