Come Together for the UC Irvine Alumni Association!

The UC Irvine Alumni Association invites you to join us in making a significant impact on the lives of current and future Anteaters. With over 265,000 alumni worldwide, our network is a powerful force dedicated to enriching the lives of our alumni and fostering a lifelong connection to UC Irvine.

Our Mission and Purpose

The UC Irvine Alumni Association is dedicated to enriching the lives of our alumni while fostering a lifelong connection to UC Irvine. Alumni play a vital role not only in advancing the University but also in shaping the student experience. Through generous support for student scholarships, alumni help open doors to transformative opportunities for future Anteaters. Our future alumni not only see financial support being raised, but also the awareness of a larger alumni community wanting to help them achieve their dreams.

Support Student Scholarships

Last year, our community came together to raise nearly $70,000 through 588 unique gifts in support of student scholarships. This year, we aim to surpass that milestone, and we need your help. Consider supporting one of our 14 chapter scholarships or the general UCIAA Endowed Scholarship. Your contribution makes a difference!
