Young Alumni Council


Let’s be real. Getting the call to “donate” is not the first thing you want to hear from your alma mater. Plus, donating sounds like you have to give a lot in order to make an impact. 

We get it. But, if we ALL donated a cup of coffee, an hour of our pay, that $10 acai bowl – together we could help pay it forward, little by little.

We’re the Young Alumni Council – a ‘think tank’ of UCI graduates of the last “ten-ish” years dedicated to creating pathways for fellow young alumni to achieve personal and professional success, all while engaging with UCI. 

Over the past five years, we’ve been able to award a total of $2,500 to incoming student leaders, all thanks to our UCI Giving Day supporters. We did it $5, $10, $15 at a time. 


Our goal this year is to raise $1,000 for our scholarship. That’s only…

  • 200 boba drinks OR...
  • 100 Chipotle bowls OR...
  • 50 Sunday brunch meals (mimosas not included  ) OR...
  • 25 Stanley tumblers OR...
  • 7 Amazon memberships...

We are proud of the ways that our students – our future young alumni – are finding their place on campus and becoming change makers in the Anteater community.

Help a student pay those lab fees, book costs, parking permits, etc. that we all know can add up. (
Check out those fees  )


By supporting our scholarship on UCI Giving Day, you have the power to change the trajectory of a student’s life. We know the cost of education can be a significant burden and your support is a powerful way to make a difference!
