Help UCSB Graduate Students Thrive

Give today to graduate student fellowships and ensure our current and future grad students have limitless opportunities.

Graduate students help drive UC Santa Barbara forward. From the arts to engineering, the sciences to education, social sciences to the humanities, our students make discoveries that advance human knowledge and improve the world. Fellowships provide core financial aid to graduate students as they progress through their degrees. Fellowship support not only helps us compete with other institutions in recruiting top students but also ensures that students are able to complete their degrees without student loan debt.

Give today to help these bright and ambitious students fulfill their dreams!
