GASF CAMPAIGN: Nothing Short of Transformative

GASF CAMPAIGN: Nothing Short of Transformative

Supported by major matching grants from the San Diego Foundation and two other large donors, the latest Five-Year GASF Campaign was launched when those matches were met as part of the effort to meet these matches, which occurred in February, 2025. The campaign will enable GASF to expand a growing and successful scholarship and academic achievement program, one that is making a difference on the UCSD campus, in the lives of our Scholars and their families, and in the communities they contribute their talents to as a result of their outstanding education at UCSD.

RECENT AND PLANNED SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS:

The successful and growing GASF Scholarship Program is beginning to reach a scale that is impactful on the campus and in the larger community. NOW, the need is to make this growth and its positive impact sustainable.
