As some of our students’ strongest supporters, parents and family members are valuable partners in the work we do to inspire student success and innovation.

With more than 33,000 students this year, the demand for comprehensive student services is rising. The UCI Parent Campaign for Student Success drives parent support to the UCI Fund, which provides the university with the ability to support the areas of greatest need on campus. By giving to the parent campaign you are ensuring some of our nation’s brightest students – regardless of background – have access to the best facilities, professors and opportunities.

There are many great things happening at UCI. We are ranked seventh nationally among public universities, and we received the most applications in the UC system from California high school students. Our school stops at nothing to improve lives through groundbreaking research and academic achievement. In order to continue to keep up with these impressive rankings and enhance the student experience, we rely on the generosity of our alumni, parents and partners. We thank you in advance for your support of the Parent Campaign this Giving Day!

“As a Southern California native, I had heard about attributes of UCI, but had no firsthand knowledge until my daughter Hannah submitted her application and we attended a tour. After she was admitted and invited to be part of the Campus Wide Honors Program, we quickly became impressed with all that this fantastic local university has to offer. We are proud of the many ways that UCI strives for greatness and provides diverse opportunities for their students. The inspiring and groundbreaking programs, the highly regarded professors, the cutting edge technology, the plethora of opportunities for leadership, the immense opportunities for personal growth and the culture rich student population, are just some of the reasons that we have become involved and truly support UCI. We are honored to be a part of the UCI family and take pride in supporting the university and its student programs on Giving Day.”
