As part of the Susan & Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences and UCI Health, we are transforming patient care and tackling the world’s most pressing health challenges.

You have the power to make a lasting impact. By investing in our students today, you are fueling breakthroughs in medicine, advancing health equity and ensuring that the brightest minds – from all backgrounds and communities – have the opportunity to lead the future of healthcare.

With tuition and fees increasing 100 times over since our founding in 1968, student support has never been more critical. Your generosity will not only change lives but will shape a healthier, more equitable world for generations to come.
