Giving to the Parents Fund is one of the best ways you can help keep UC Davis strong for your student.
Because it is unrestricted, the Parents Fund allows Chancellor May to support areas of greatest need in ways that advance research and ensure an excellent education for all students:
Chancellor’s Fellows Awards allow our outstanding faculty to pursue pioneering research and offer students life-changing opportunities to participate. In fields ranging from oncology, wine science, and COVID-19 to education, the arts and more, Chancellor’s Fellows have improved our world. These awards are key to keeping UC Davis in the forefront of discovery and retaining our excellent faculty to teach future Aggies.
Chancellor’s Achievement Awards allow high-performing California students from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue their education. Most recipients are part of the 42 percent of our undergraduates who are first generation to college. These awards are key to keeping a UC Davis education accessible to all, including students like yours.
The Parents Fund allows Chancellor May to support areas of greatest need in ways that advance cutting-edge research and hands-on discovery for all students, including yours.
The Parents Fund helps us respond quickly to critical emerging needs and opportunities. As an example, the fund allowed us to provide loaner laptops to hundreds of students at the outset of COVID-19 when courses moved online. Unrestricted funds are key to meeting urgent needs of students and faculty alike.
