Black Alumni Council
The Black Alumni Council and BASF Board are committed to increasing the campus diversity through higher enrollments of Black students at UC San Diego. We believe that more Black graduates on a sustained basis over time will help transform society and improve social justice in the wider San Diego community or wherever our graduates reside.
To achieve these goals, larger scholarships will need to be offered to a greater number of admitted, but not-yet-committed, applicants.
