Parent and Family Giving enhances the student experience by connecting parents and families to the UC San Diego community through meaningful opportunities for volunteerism, intellectual engagement and philanthropy.
Our students aspire to change the world, and UC San Diego’s priority is to provide them with the resources to accomplish their dreams. Our goal is to ensure all students have the opportunity to enhance their experience during their time here at UC San Diego. The Parents Fund impacts undergraduate/graduate students by providing resources to foster a balance of academics, personal growth and extracurricular activities.
These funds are awarded based on need, number of students served, educational benefits derived, and funds available from our generous parent donors to UC San Diego. Funds are allocated by members of the Parent Leadership Council.
To be eligible your organization or group must:
1. Be a registered student organization in good standing or a university group which enhances the undergraduate/graduate student experience.
2. Meet Associated Students (AS) Student Organization funding guidelines
3. Be a student organization eligible to submit a Triton Activities Planner (TAP) 21-days prior to the event/program or a university group with a department advisor and/or business officer.
4. Be able to complete the online Parents Fund application including submission of budget.
5. You must submit a budget for the 2020-2021 usage for the funds. The budget must include all sources of revenue (actual and potential) as well as all planned expenditures for the event/fund usage. The amount you are requesting needs to be represented in your budget and you will need to clearly indicate how you intend to expend the requested Parents Fund dollars.
Applications will be screened and those meeting the minimum criteria will be presented to the Parent Leadership Council for review. The council will meet in February 2021 to determine funding allocations. Once determined, student or university groups and appropriate financial authorities (university business officers) will be notified and funds will be transferred. The funds received must be used within the 2020-21 fiscal year.
Consideration will not be granted to any funding applications involving alcohol.
