COSMOS
Support COSMOS Scholarships this Give Day!

Each summer, COSMOS brings together middle and high school STEM students from throughout California to four UC campuses, including UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, UC Irvine, and UC San Diego.

With your help, we can be ready to provide more than $300,000 in tuition-relieving financial aid. This support removes obstacles for hard-working students who otherwise might not be able to participate in this special program.

Each summer, COSMOS brings together middle and high school STEM students from throughout California to UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, UC Irvine, and UC San Diego. This year's challenge will provide tuition-relieving financial aid for deserving and qualified students. Join us!

COSMOS launches STEM careers, propelling the brightest young minds in California to pursue their passions and interests in STEM fields. Together, we motivate, challenge and support the next generation of STEM leaders and innovators. Gifts, of any size, align with this purpose and make a significant difference. 

This year we have a special challenge issued by proud parents of a COSMOS alumna who is now an Aggie! Please join Tom Yih and Eva Wang in their effort to create access to all qualified students interested in COSMOS!
