Alumni Leadership Scholarship

In 2004, the Alumni Association launched an additional $2 million fundraising campaign to create the Alumni Leadership Scholarship. This complementary scholarship program addresses the accessibility of education to high achieving students faced with significant financial hardship. In addition, this scholarship recognizes those who have demonstrated outstanding academic and community leadership while at UCSD.

In its first year, the Scholarship Selection Committee received 124 scholarship applications. Funds were available to support 11 worthy students with a $2,000 annual award. For the 2007 academic year, the Association received 200 applications and will fund 27 sholarships. Our goal is to fund at least 40 endowed scholarships annually.  MORE

National Merit Scholarship

Since 1994, the Alumni Association has proudly co-sponsored UCSD's National Merit Scholarship Program, recognizing our nation's best and brightest high school students. The program identifies and honors exceptional scholars and encourages them to pursue rigorous college studies at UCSD.

Of the 1.8 million high school students that participate in standardized testing during their junior year, National Merit Scholars represent the top one-half percent of the nation's high school graduating classes. Recipients of the scholarship are selected on the basis of demonstrated abilities, skills and accomplishments.

The National Merit Scholarship Program ensures continued recruitment of top scholars by rewarding academically talented students with scholarship monies and renews national interest in the UCSD as a natural destination. The alumni merit scholarship endowment now stands at $2 million and will ensure continued support for many years to come.
