The Daily Bruin Scholarship Campaign 2026

By Daily Bruin Alumni Network

Help Daily Bruin students get valuable work experience and thrive at UCLA with the DBAN scholarship and a professional newspaper internship.

Help Daily Bruin students get valuable work experience and thrive at UCLA with the DBAN scholarship and a professional newspaper internship. Daily Bruin Alumni Network Help Daily Bruin staffers get the experience they need to become competitive professionals in journalism and media. For generations, the Daily Bruin has been more than a student newspaper. It's where students discover their passion for storytelling, find their voices, and gain the experience that shapes their future careers. Since 2019, 55 Daily Bruin student staffers have received scholarships made possible by alumni, families, and supporters who believe in investing in the next generation of journalists and leaders. This year, thanks to donors like you, we increased three DBAN crowdfunded merit scholarships from $2,500 to $3,000 each, providing more meaningful support to students who have demonstrated dedication to the Daily Bruin and aspire to careers in journalism and related fields. Giving Back to Where It All Began For many alumni, the Daily Bruin was where it all began. The first assignment, the late nights making deadline, the friendships and the experiences that opened doors long after leaving UCLA. Former Daily Bruin staffers and their families are returning to the community that helped shape them, establishing scholarships to give today's students the same opportunity to learn, grow, and pursue their journalistic ambitions. Families and friends have created Daily Bruin scholarships in the memories of Eric Mandel '76, Philip Savenick '73, Dave McNary ’74, and Bob Seizer '54, ensuring their legacies live on through future generations of Daily Bruin staffers. That same commitment to the next generation inspired DBAN co-founder Lawrence Ma ’95 and fellow alumni Zachary Aron ’94 and Robina Riccitiello ’84 to come together and establish an endowment supporting future scholarships. This month, we're raising funds for six to 10 merit scholarships for next year's Daily Bruin staffers. Your gift will help recognize students who give so much of themselves to the Daily Bruin, while providing financial support as they pursue their education and future careers. For alumni, it's a chance to give back to the newsroom that helped shape their own journeys. For today's students, it's a reminder that a community of Bruins believes in them and the stories they have yet to tell. Give today and help the next generation of Daily Bruin journalists write their own stories. The Daily Bruin Scholarship Fund is an official account of the UCLA Fund, and your tax-deductible contributions count toward Chancellor’s Society status. We also encourage and accept employer-matched contributions.

By Latinx Success Center

Help support the LSC during its second year.

Help support the LSC during its second year. Latinx Success Center UCLA is a big place. For many students, finding a community that feels like home shapes their entire experience here. That is why the Latinx Success Center (LSC) exists. Now in its second year, the LSC is a place where students find family, connect with one another, and access opportunities to thrive. We work with and beside students as they find their path at UCLA and beyond. This month we welcome students back with the Latinx Welcome on October 8 and celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. To mark the moment, we are asking our community for 100 gifts by October 31. This goal is about participation. When we give together, it shows UCLA that this community stands behind the LSC. This month, if you give $25 or more, you can get your very own LSC T-shirt to show your support! Many of us found our footing because someone made room for us. This is a chance to do the same for the students coming next. UCLA es una universidad extensa y diversa. Para muchos estudiantes, encontrar una comunidad que se sienta como un hogar define toda su experiencia aquí. Por eso se creó el Latinx Success Center (LSC). Ahora, al celebrar su segundo aniversario, LSC se ha convertido en un espacio donde los estudiantes se sienten en familia, crean conexiones significativas y reciben el apoyo que necesitan para avanzar y alcanzar sus metas. Trabajamos de la mano con nuestros estudiantes, acompañándolos en cada paso para que encuentren su camino dentro de UCLA y construyan su futuro. Este mes damos la bienvenida a nuestros estudiantes en su regreso a clases con el Latinx Welcome el 8 de octubre, mientras celebramos el Mes de la Herencia Hispana. Para conmemorar este momento, nos hemos propuesto la meta de recibir 100 donativos a más tardar el 31 de octubre. Este objetivo se enfoca en la participación: cuando donamos juntos, le demostramos a UCLA que nuestra comunidad respalda firmemente al LSC. ¡Este mes, al donar $25 o más, recibirá su propia camiseta del LSC para mostrar su apoyo! Muchos de nosotros encontramos nuestro lugar gracias a que alguien nos abrió un espacio. Esta es la oportunidad perfecta para hacer lo mismo por las próximas generaciones de estudiantes. For students. The LSC provides academic, personal, and professional support through resources that reflect students' cultures and languages. Programs include a mental health and wellness series, career pathways programming with alumni, and partnerships with campus programs such as the Undocumented Student Program and the Academic Advancement Program. The center also brings student organizations together and connects students to resources across campus. And every step of the way, students help shape the center through our two advisory boards. For alumni. The LSC connects current students with alumni and partners with the Latino Alumni Association, the Undocumented Alumni Association, and the Grupo Folklórico de UCLA alumni association. Many alumni have told the center they wish a space like this had existed when they were students. Now, it's here. For the community. K-14 schools, parent groups, and community agencies reach out to tour the center, hear from a student panel, and attend a presentation. By hosting the annual Latinx Welcome, we are inviting our broader Los Angeles community to step inside and join us. Para los estudiantes.

Nuestros programas incluyen un ciclo de salud mental y bienestar, mentorías de desarrollo profesional con egresados y colaboraciones estratégicas con iniciativas del campus, tales como el Undocumented Student Program y el Academic Advancement Program. Asimismo, el centro une a las organizaciones estudiantiles y conecta a los alumnos con los diversos recursos disponibles en toda la universidad. En cada paso del camino, los estudiantes ayudan a construir el centro a través de nuestros dos comités asesores. Para exalumnos. El LSC conecta a los estudiantes actuales con la comunidad de egresados y colabora estrechamente con la Latino Alumni Association, la Undocumented Alumni Association y la asociación de exalumnos del Grupo Folklórico de UCLA.

Escuelas K-14, grupos de padres de familia y organizaciones comunitarias se ponen en contacto con nosotros para recorrer el centro, escuchar a paneles de estudiantes y asistir a presentaciones informativas.

Support Club Beach Volleyball's 2026-2027 Season!

By UCLA Club Beach Volleyball

UCLA's co-ed club beach volleyball team consists of about 60 players who represent UCLA against other universities and in league and national tournaments.

UCLA's co-ed club beach volleyball team consists of about 60 players who represent UCLA against other universities and in league and national tournaments. UCLA Club Beach Volleyball Who We Are The UCLA Club Beach Volleyball team consists of 60 student athletes that represent UCLA in NCSVA and SCCVL beach volleyball tournaments year-round. Our co-ed team is composed of many diverse students from around the world including first generation and international students. We also have students from the undergraduate and graduate programs, allowing athletes to build connections and support each other as they thrive through their academic career. Background Information Our team is under UCLA Club Sports, which helps provide us access to the beach volleyball courts for most of the year. However, the team is responsible for our own equipment, travel fees, uniforms, coaching fees, and tournament entry fees. While the athletes do pay an initial due at the beginning of each quarter, we are in need of donations to help maintain the high standard of competitive beach volleyball we play at while students face the financial burden of paying for tuition, housing, and food. We need YOUR help to achieve our goal of providing our athletes with the best access to competitive play. Your donation will allow us to play in more tournaments each quarter and expose our players to as many beach volleyball games as possible. We also have a goal to send as many teams as possible to the NCVF National Championships this year, and every donation will help us make this goal a reality! 2024 NCVF National Championship - Men's Champions! On behalf of the UCLA Club Beach Volleyball Team, your donation means a lot to us and we thank you for your support! Go Bruins!

Getting Bruins Outside!

By The Backpacking Club at UCLA

Support The Backpacking Club at UCLA’s goal to students outside and to get more people loving nature!

Support The Backpacking Club at UCLA’s goal to students outside and to get more people loving nature! The Backpacking Club at UCLA Hello! We are The Backpacking Club at UCLA, a student led organization with the goal of making the OUTDOORS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE. But first we need YOUR HELP! A little about us! We average 2,000 students memberships across the undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctorate student body and run approximately 50 trips per school year. We know the barrier to getting outside is HUGE and the initial investment to even figuring out whether you like it or not can be enough of an obstacle that many people don’t even try at all. But college is where you are supposed to try new things! This is where The Backpacking Club at UCLA steps-up. We strive to make our trips as low-cost as possible. This means we: Subsidize trip costs for participants Carpool to the max Go places that only require inexpensive permits and we THINK CREATIVELY! Feeling like you already want to support us? Please donate! Still unsure, then read on! Additionally, the club has a gear lending program where we loan out backpacking and camping gear free of charge to students joining club trips. This is where YOU come in, helping to significantly lower the cost barrier to members, improving accessibility. You might ask, “Where does the club go?” Great question. We go to… ALL OVER CALIFORNIA and to neighboring states! But if you still need more convincing, listen to what else The Backpacking Club at UCLA does! • We host workshops about how to pack a backpacking backpack • How to do deal with menstruation in the outdoors • What it is like to thru-hike a trail • How to stay safe while outside • Tree identification • Socials to build Burin community! You’ve read this far, and we appreciate that. To wrap this up, a little straight talk. The club has been taking Bruins into the backcountry for over a decade and each year we see the costs of accessing the outdoors increasing. These increasing costs mean that we are not able to run as many trips, we aren’t able to reach as many students, and we are limited in the places we can go (gas!). This is where your support would really help. We want to see the club's reach grow and continue instead of shrink and flounder. With YOUR support we can continue to make lifelong memories and create amazing experiences for generations of Bruins. As an entirely student-led and run organization we need financial support to continue our mission of leading individuals outside. This includes buying more gear to expand our gear lending library, feeding our trips, paying for more safety devices, and just generally supporting the cause of getting outside. Any amount helps, and YOUR DONATION makes it possible for a new generation of Bruins to experience the wonder of the outdoors. So if you can, please donate and help us continue offering this experience for the students of UCLA.

Support Bruins Who Lead!

By Eagle Wings Club at UCLA

Support UCLA students preparing to serve as Air Force officers. Your gift helps expand training, professional development, and travel opportunities!

Support UCLA students preparing to serve as Air Force officers. Your gift helps expand training, professional development, and travel opportunities! Eagle Wings Club at UCLA Who We Are Eagle Wings Club is a student-run organization at UCLA that supports the community of students participating in Air Force ROTC. These students balance the demands of a UCLA education with additional commitments in leadership development, physical training, professional education, and preparation to eventually serve as officers in the U.S. Air Force. Eagle Wings complements that experience by creating opportunities beyond formal AFROTC training, helping cadets build community, develop professionally, and celebrate important milestones throughout their time at UCLA. Why We’re Fundraising Some of the most memorable and valuable opportunities for cadets happen beyond regular training: leadership simulations that challenge students to solve problems under pressure, visits and travel that expose them to different career fields and professional environments, service activities, team-building experiences, and events that recognize major milestones in their journey. These opportunities often require resources for transportation, facility or participation fees, equipment, supplies, and event expenses. Eagle Wings is raising $3,000 to help make more of these experiences possible and accessible to the students we serve. What Your Support Makes Possible Your gift directly expands what Eagle Wings can offer UCLA students. Donations can provide materials for leadership exercises, help offset the cost of off-campus training and educational travel, support professional-development opportunities, and help make important student events such as Dining Out, Military Ball, and commissioning more meaningful. Whether you give $10 or $1,000, your support helps create opportunities for Bruins to practice leadership, strengthen their community, broaden their experiences, and prepare for the responsibility of leading others. Official Disclaimer Eagle Wings Booster Club is a private, non-federal entity. It is not part of the Department of Defense or any of its components and has no governmental status.

42nd Annual UCLA Powwow

By Native Bruins (AISA)

Support the American Indian Student Association's annual powwow event, by helping us raise $5,000 to celebrate Indigenous culture, community, tradition at UCLA!

Support the American Indian Student Association's annual powwow event, by helping us raise $5,000 to celebrate Indigenous culture, community, tradition at UCLA! Native Bruins (AISA) About AISA The American Indian Student Association (AISA) at UCLA is a student-led and student-funded organization built by Indigenous students, for Indigenous students and our community. American Indians represent less than 1% of the UCLA student population, giving us more of a reason to provide a community that celebrates belonging and culture. Our Mission AISA stands as a welcoming association open to all UCLA students. We have cultivated a robust and supportive community that nurtures American Indian, Alaskan Native, and First Nation students in their educational pursuits at UCLA. Within the Native Bruin community, students unite to advance education and cultural understanding. Together, we challenge misconceptions surrounding American Indian art, language, history, and lifestyles. Our strength lies in our diverse backgrounds; every member enriches our community with unique perspectives, fostering a vibrant environment. At AISA, we've pioneered student-led outreach initiatives tailored to empowering Native individuals in their higher education journeys. We host significant events annually, including Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration, Youth Conference/Basketball Tournament, and the UCLA Powwow. Land Acknowledgement We pay homage to the Gabrieleño/Tongva peoples, the original custodians of the Los Angeles Greater Basin and Southern Channel Islands, acknowledging their enduring connection to the land. Our Story For many of our members, AISA is more than just another organization on campus. It is where students meet people who understand their experiences, learn from one another, and stay connected to their cultures while being away from home. We create opportunities for students to grow academically and professionally, while also making space for our traditions, stories, and cultures to be shared with the larger UCLA community. One of the biggest ways we bring our community together is through our annual UCLA Powwow. The Powwow gives Indigenous students the opportunity to come together, reconnect with culture, and share our traditions with students, families, and visitors from across the community. It is also a chance for people who may have never experienced Indigenous culture to learn, listen, and celebrate with us. Your donation can directly help make these experiences possible. Every contribution helps AISA cover the costs of cultural events, student programs, outreach, and our 42nd Powwow gathering. Whether it helps provide supplies for an event, supports student participation, or helps us welcome more people to our Powwow, your donation helps create a space where Indigenous students can feel seen and supported. By supporting AISA, you are not just donating to a student organization. You are investing in the students who make up our community and helping us continue a legacy of culture, connection, and tradition at UCLA. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us continue creating a community where Indigenous students feel supported, represented, and connected.

IDEA Hacks 2027

By IEEE at UCLA

IDEA Hacks is a hardware hackathon that welcomes and challenges competitors of all levels to work in a team and create a product in 36 hours.

IDEA Hacks is a hardware hackathon that welcomes and challenges competitors of all levels to work in a team and create a product in 36 hours. IEEE at UCLA Who we are: IDEA Hacks is an annual event put on by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) at UCLA. But what is it? IDEA Hacks is a hackathon, which is like a marathon but for people who enjoy locking themselves in a room to write code, build prototypes out of loose wires and breadboards, and solder components together to bring their dreams to life. Our hackathon runs for 36 hours straight, in that time our competitors will choose a track and have access to as many components as their heart, or team, desires in order to design and build a product that aligns with one of three subcategories. We pride ourselves with being the largest hardware hackathon on the west coast, usually seeing 200+ competitors enter each year to form around 50 teams each with their own unique ideas and backgrounds that come together to create stunning and innovative projects. Our hackers are primarily UCLA students though we welcome students from everywhere to compete alongside us and build their dreams! Our problem: The IDEA Hacks team is 30+ strong and has been and will be hard at work for months in preparation for this event but even with our combined efforts we find ourselves lacking. Everything has a cost and we want this event to be free to attendees so that there is no limit to whose plans come to fruition. We feed our hackers four meals over the course of the competition, supply them with snacks, room to hack, access to machinery, a series of workshops that cover concepts from product design to wireless communication, and perhaps most importantly of all electrical components. This racks up a bill. A bill we can’t cover with our budget alone which is why we’ve come to you! How donors can help: With your donation you will have a marked and visible impact on IDEA Hacks as individual components are cheap, but quantity isn’t. We’ll be able to make this year’s hackathon the best yet by offering a wide breadth of parts so that teams can work with components that are not only high quality but familiar to them. Thanks to you, our hackers will be able to compete in comfort without having to worry about arranging their own accommodations like places to stay and where to get meals. Your contributions will give our hackers the basis of what they need to build a brighter tomorrow today. So thank you for giving to our campaign from all of us here at IDEA Hacks.

Help Bruins Learn Abroad

By UCLA Study Abroad

Help us give every UCLA student the opportunity to study abroad!

Help us give every UCLA student the opportunity to study abroad! UCLA Study Abroad Studying abroad changes how students see the world and themselves. They return with stronger language skills, greater independence, and experience that employers and graduate programs value. But rising costs are keeping many students from going. For first-generation, low- and middle-income Bruins, the price of airfare, housing, meals, passports, and program fees add up quickly, and costs are expected to keep going up. This summer, we saw more students than usual having to cancel their applications, with many citing financial concerns. About 80% of UCLA Travel Study participants were financial aid recipients this year, compared to around 50% in the past. You can help. This month, we're raising $20,000 so that more students can say yes to studying abroad, and so those who go can make the most of it. Your Gift Your gift supports students at every stage: Getting ready to go. Passport and visa fees, program deposits, and required documents that must be paid before a student even leaves. Getting there. Round-trip airfare, often the single largest out-of-pocket cost. Living abroad. Housing, meals, and local transportation so students can focus on their studies. Your support will allow more students to have critical opportunities to immerse themselves in new cultures, learn new languages, and gain invaluable international experience that will help them become global citizens. As thanks, you can get a signature UCLA Study Abroad luggage tag when you give $25 or more, and a UCLA Study Abroad T-shirt for gifts of $75 or more! Every dollar brings us closer to our $20,000 goal! Our Stories Studying abroad opens up so many doors for our students. With your support, more students can have experiences like these: "Receiving a study abroad scholarship allowed me to have financial freedom while exploring my home base of Prague. I was able to explore nearby countries and fully immerse myself into the Czech culture without the fear of financial insecurity. It is due to the scholarship that I was able to make the decision to study abroad and it changed my life. I am forever grateful for the experience and the generosity of the donors who believed in me. If you ever have the chance to visit Prague, I highly recommend!" Heer S. ’27 Global Internship Program - Prague, Czech Republic "The only time I ever left the United States was across the border to Mexico, so this was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity that opened my eyes to the world in ways I’ve never seen. This scholarship substantially alleviated the financial weight I would have experienced and allowed me to be less stressed while studying, discovering, and fully immersing myself in the explorations and adventures I had." Allison C. ’26 Travel Study: Spanish - Language & Culture in Spain Our Gift To You To thank you for your generous support, we have a few gifts of our own. For gifts of $25 or more, you will can get a UCLA Study Abroad luggage tag for use in your own travels abroad. For gifts of $75 or more, you will also get an original UCLA Study Abroad T-shirt to represent global learning while looking stylish! If you give $1,000 or more, you will also be recognized as a member of the UCLA Chancellor's Society, where you can join exclusive donor-appreciation events and receive dedicated Chancellor's Society communications. More information and ways to get involved can be found here. Your Gift In Action For the past two years, our generous community has funded a "passport caravan": a free event for students to apply for passports right on campus, free of charge. Over the course of the day, dozens of students complete and submit passport applications with the in-person help of passport agents and have all associated fees covered. Funding for this event comes from our crowdfunding campaigns -- this is our community's support in action!

UCLA Scholarships 2026: Pathways to a Debt-Free Education

By UCLA Scholarships

Join UCLA’s Affordability Initiative and help ensure that every deserving student can attend UCLA, regardless of financial circumstances.

Join UCLA’s Affordability Initiative and help ensure that every deserving student can attend UCLA, regardless of financial circumstances. UCLA Scholarships What sets UCLA apart is its commitment to ensuring that talented students, regardless of financial circumstances, have access to a world-class education. As the nation's most applied-to university, UCLA pairs academic excellence with a dedication to accessibility, enrolling more low-income students than all Ivy League institutions combined. By creating pathways for students from every background to succeed, UCLA fosters a community where opportunity and achievement go hand in hand. * Sources: https://financialaid.ucla.edu/ For too many students, the cost of higher education can influence not only where they attend college, but whether they pursue their aspirations at all. Affordability is about more than reducing debt. It is about ensuring that talent and potential are not constrained by financial circumstances. Scholarship support helps remove obstacles, expand opportunities, and give students the freedom to fully engage in the experiences that define a UCLA education. When financial barriers are lifted, students can focus on learning, leadership, discovery, and building a brighter future for themselves and their communities. Through the Affordability Initiative, UCLA is pursuing a bold goal: creating pathways to a debt-free education for all students by 2030. Building on UCLA's longstanding commitment to access and excellence, this university-wide effort seeks to expand scholarship support and strengthen the resources that help students succeed. By investing in affordability, UCLA is ensuring that future generations of Bruins can benefit from the opportunities of a world-class education. Every gift to scholarships advances this vision and helps move UCLA closer to a brighter tomorrow where financial circumstances never limit student potential today. Sources: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/ucla-1315 and https://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/ucla-top-ranked-public-university-eight-straight-years For many students, particularly those who demonstrate financial need, the cost of attending college extends far beyond tuition. Housing, food, transportation, course materials, and other living expenses can create significant challenges that affect both academic success and overall well-being. Scholarship support helps remove these obstacles by easing the financial pressures students and families face. With greater financial stability, students can spend less time worrying about making ends meet and more time focusing on their education, pursuing opportunities, and fully engaging in the UCLA experience. By helping address the hidden costs of college, scholarships provide students with the freedom to focus on learning, discovery, and personal growth rather than financial uncertainty. For many students and families, the financial realities of college continue long after a student arrives on campus. Whether balancing the cost of supporting multiple children through higher education or managing competing financial responsibilities, many families benefit from additional scholarship support. Scholarships help close the gap between attending UCLA and fully participating in the UCLA experience. From research and internships to leadership opportunities and professional development, scholarship support empowers students to take advantage of the experiences that enrich their education and prepare them for future success. The impact of a scholarship extends far beyond a single student. A UCLA education can transform the trajectory of an individual's life, opening doors to new opportunities, and creating pathways to long-term success. The benefits of higher education often reach beyond the student, strengthening families, expanding economic mobility, and creating opportunities that can be passed from one generation to the next. Students who benefit from scholarship support go on to become mentors, advocates, innovators, educators, and leaders who positively influence the communities around them. As they build careers, pursue advanced opportunities, and support those who follow in their footsteps, the impact of a scholarship continues to grow. On act of generosity can create a lasting ripple effect, empowering students, uplifting families, strengthening communities, and helping shape a brighter future for generations to come.

Bruin Formula Racing 2026

By Bruin Formula Racing

Support Bruin Formula Racing's 2026-27 competition season!

Support Bruin Formula Racing's 2026-27 competition season! Bruin Formula Racing Hi all! We are Bruin Formula Racing at UCLA. Every year we design, manufacture, test, and race our formula-style car against teams from around the world in the competition put on by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to encourage the hands-on application of engineering principles taught in our classes. Just like the teams you see in Formula 1, we have an entire team of innovative engineers, business and marketing specialists, and administrative powerhouses. But what makes it even more incredible…it’s ALL run by full time students excelling in both the classroom and on track! As a student team, every donation counts and makes our dream of seeing our car running on track possible. We are so grateful for our donors and their generosity and look forward to making you proud this season! There is a lot of cool engineering that makes a car run, let alone race. All of the bells and whistles that make our car ZOOM are designed and built by our engineering team. Our engineers apply the concepts they learned in class to a real life, full scale, competing racecar! The engineering department covers a wide range of different disciplines: mechanical, electrical, aerodynamics, chemical, material science, software, data science, mathematics, and machining, just to name a few. With 14 different subteams, there is a place for everyone pursue their interests, learn something new, and innovate new, exciting vehicle technology! Over an accelerated one-year design/build cycle, our engineers own their designs from start to finish, designing, manufacturing, testing, and validating their components and subsystems. At the end of the year, all of the engineering comes to life in the final result -- a fully fledged, lightning quick racecar! Coming off of our highest engineering design score in team history at our last competition, our engineering team is eager to build an even better racecar this upcoming year. Bruin Formula Racing could not be successful without all of the administrative and managing infrastructure provided by the business and marketing teams. Their efforts keep our team running like a well-oiled machine (no pun intended). Within business and marketing, team members procure team funding and resources, coordinate sponsorships and industry relationships, design team merchandise, organize team branding and social media presence, and keep our team operating smoothly. The framework and structure provided by our administrative team members bridges the gap between our dreams and our reality, allowing us to build an amazing, competitive vehicle! With more development and expansion of our business and marketing committees, these teams continue to grow and leave a lasting impact on our organization. Our organization is open to all! Our members come from all backgrounds, majors, ages...but we all share a passion for building the best racecar. Bruin Formula Racing cares about making engineering accessible and welcoming to all. We design specific trainings and projects to teach our members the necessary skills to be successful in the workplace. No previous experience or any type of membership dues are needed; we want to make sure that engineering is an accessible space where all can learn and grow. Although we put a lot of hard work into our car, we also take time to have fun! Whether it's karting at K1, a beach bonfire, or just hanging out on a food run, we love to spend time with each other. Bruin Formula Racing is more than just a club, it's our own little family!

By Olympic Weightlifting

Support our athletes on their journey to the competing in Olympic Weightlifting Competitions!

Support our athletes on their journey to the competing in Olympic Weightlifting Competitions! Olympic Weightlifting Support our athletes on our journey to their first Olympic Weightlifting Competitions! From October 2026 through June 2027, we aim to send over 30 athletes to various Olympic Weightlifting competitions; with a dozen of our athletes representing UCLA on a national stage against over 135 universities from around the country. Group picture from our annual Team Banquet celebration in May 2026. Our UCLA Club Olympic Weightlifting Team is a group of over 40 athletes from a range of athletic backgrounds and experience levels. Our athletes train 4-6 times a week, for 6-12 hours with specialized coaching and programming in the snatch and clean & jerk by our passionate student coaches, while maintaining rigorous academic schedules. Two of our student coaches, Jada & Salena, teaching our new members the clean & jerk. As a UCLA Club Sport, we compete at the local, national, and international level. Our fully student-run team comprises weightlifters with a wide range of experience: from a month to a decade, and from barbell beginners to National Champions. One of our members, Dallas Tada, won third place at USAW Open Nationals in the 79kg weight class. This year, our team has significantly grown in size, therefore greatly increasing costs in all aspects of our club. Your contributions will directly benefit our athletes at all levels, by providing training equipment, competition attire, meet registration fees, and of course, travel costs. Our previous cohort of athletes who competed at the 2026 USAW National University Championships. With your support last year, we raised over $5000 and were able to send 11 athletes to the USAW National University Championships in Salt Lake City, Utah, in our second year as a club sport team. Our Women's Team placed in the Top 10 in the nation, and our Co-Ed Team placed 13th. This year, we aim to support all our athletes at competition. We want all athletes, those competing at their first or twentieth, to have the opportunity to experience the feeling of lifting on a competition platform. Our team vice president, Joseph Castillo, performing the snatch lift at a local competition meet. Now, we once again need your support to bring our athletes to the platform. We aim to reach our potential within the growing sport of Olympic Weightlifting and inspire our fellow students both at UCLA and beyond. Every donation helps us along on our journey as our weightlifters chase their goals. Our athletes Haley Trinh and Elle Hatamiya won first and third place at the USAW U25 Nationals in the 63kg weight class.

Fueling The Future: Support Bruin Supermileage!

By Bruin Supermileage

Help us travel to the Shell Eco-Marathon 2027 competition!

Help us travel to the Shell Eco-Marathon 2027 competition! Bruin Supermileage Bruin Supermileage is a sustainability-focused engineering organization founded in 2004. As one of the Bruin Racing teams, we are at the forefront of the engineering clubs on campus, striving to live up to our motto of “sustainable engineering, efficient racing.” Our overall mission is to develop young engineers with the hands-on skills needed to excel in industry or research, in addition to developing a cutting-edge vehicle for competition in the Shell Eco-Marathon. Many of our engineers join top engineering companies like Apple, SpaceX, Tesla, Rivian, Meta, and more! Our members design and manufacture a hyper-efficient vehicle from scratch all in the cycle of one year. Unlike most other university teams in North America, which operate on a two-year design cycle, we are one of the only teams that design and manufacture our entire car in a single year – pushing the boundaries of our engineering capabilities and perseverance. This vehicle, weighing over 300 lbs, is the combined effort of over 14 subteams, each with a unique scope of work, and over 100+ people. Throughout the year, we host many subteam workshops/events to help improve our design and eventual manufacturing of our vehicle. Our biggest event is our competition in Indianapolis, where we will make the long trek to participate Shell Eco-Marathon, going against other like-minded organizations at universities across the United States Historically, we were founded on the vision of developing an internal combustion vehicle that achieves the maximum miles per gallon possible. Our award-winning team has in the past achieved 1,239.5 mpg. In 2016, we added the development of an Electric Vehicle to add to our focus on sustainability. We have gotten a best finish of 3rd place at 27.92 miles per kWh. Other awards include a second-place finish in the Design and Innovation Category for our state-of-the-art chassis design and a first-place finish in the Data & Telemetry Award for our vehicle performance modelling and expansive data visualization, all done in-house by our electrical team. In 2023, we switched our focus from building traditional internal combustion and all-electric vehicles to building a Hydrogen-powered EV vehicle, a first at UCLA! This past year, we have been able to develop a working prototype of an in-house Hydrogen Fuel Cell, in order to improve our kWh/m3 power-to-hydrogen consumption for future years. In addition to our continued development of a revolutionary in-house Hydrogen Fuel Cell, we look forward to developing other intricate technologies for this year, such as developing a solar panel array plus battery energy storage system to further support our sustainable vehicle performance and manufacturing. In addition to representing the Samueli School of Engineering at events such as Engineering Welcome Day and EAF, we actively promote sustainability and clean technology across campus and beyond. From spreading awareness of renewable fuels and sustainable product development at numerous on-campus events such as the Earth Day Extravaganza to SustainaBruin to representing UCLA on a nationwide stage at Sustain Socal, we have made it our mission to prove to the public that renewable technologies are possible and are being developed. Every donation means the world to us! By donating to Bruin Supermileage, you will help make our trek to Indianapolis possible this year. If you have any questions, please please please reach out and our financial leads would be more than happy to answer any questions, or show you a million pictures of our team, if you'd like! Thank you so much for your consideration!

exploretech.la: Spark LA's Next Generation of Engineers

By exploretech

Help us bring 400 high school students from underserved Los Angeles communities to UCLA for a free day of hands-on tech and engineering workshops.

Help us bring 400 high school students from underserved Los Angeles communities to UCLA for a free day of hands-on tech and engineering workshops. exploretech Help us bring 400 high school students from underserved Los Angeles communities to UCLA for a free day of hands-on tech and engineering. Who we are exploretech.la is a UCLA student-led organization that makes technology and engineering accessible to high school students across Los Angeles. Through hands-on workshops, mentorship, and our annual flagship event at UCLA, students explore different areas of STEM, build technical skills, and learn directly from UCLA students and industry professionals. Our goal is simple: give every student an engaging, approachable way to find out if STEM is right for them. 400students expected at our 2027 event9+LA high schools, most Title I73%more interested in a STEM major40+UCLA student volunteers Our history exploretech.la started in May 2017 inside UCLA ACM as the TEALS Computer Science Fair, with Microsoft Philanthropies' TEALS program as our title sponsor. After a successful first event, the team grew past 20 members and became an independent student organization supported by the UCLA Computer Science Department and the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering. In 2020, we received the ESUC Emerging Star Award for significant growth and potential. Today, our 40+ members host 300 to 500 students every year. At a recent event, more than 350 students attended from 9 high schools, 7 of them Title I schools. In 2024, we launched Ignite, a 4-week program where 50+ high school students built their own websites, games, and machine learning models with UCLA mentors. The results show. After our event, 73% of students said they were more interested in majoring in STEM, and 71% said they were more likely to pursue higher education. One of our own content directors first attended exploretech.la as a high school student. Today, he designs the workshops that inspire the next class. The problem Talent is everywhere in Los Angeles. Opportunity is not. Across California, only 34% of high schools serving mostly Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Pacific Islander students offer computer science courses, compared to 52% of schools serving mostly white and Asian students. Schools in low-income communities are 3 times less likely to offer core computer science courses (Kapor Center, California Computer Science Access Report, 2021). Many of these students are the first in their families to go to college, and they rarely get the chance to see what a career in tech or engineering looks like. We keep exploretech.la free for every student and school. That means our team covers the venue, lunch for 400 students, workshop materials, and event supplies. Our full event costs over $15,000, and university funding covers only part of it. How you can help Your gift goes directly into the hands of students. It puts hot glue guns and circuit kits on workshop tables, lunch on every plate, and a tote bag of UCLA swag in the hands of a student who may be stepping onto a college campus for the first time. Our goal: raise $5,000 by November 27. Every dollar helps us welcome 400 high school students to UCLA this spring. Whether you give $5 or $1,000, you help a student discover what they can build. Thank you for supporting the next generation of LA engineers!

Women's Club Soccer Fundraiser 2026 - 2027

By Women's Club Soccer

Support Women's Club Soccer's 2026 - 2027 season and help us get to Nationals!

Support Women's Club Soccer's 2026 - 2027 season and help us get to Nationals! Women's Club Soccer WHO WE ARE UCLA Women's Club Soccer is a group of 27 talented and competitive women, united by their passion and love of the game. We are very fortunate to continue another year under the coaching of Derek Diaz. On top of that, we had the wonderful opportunity to add seven more to the squad! We are very excited to come back this year after such an incredible season last year, when we were able to win a National Championship in the Open Division! On top of our demanding soccer schedule, each player is smart and gifted enough to not only be able to succeed on the field but also excel in the classroom in a variety of different majors. Beyond that, UCLA Women's Club Soccer is a family, supporting and pushing each other to do our best throughout all aspects of our lives, as well as making time to have fun with each other with movie nights, living together, and having singing sessions in the car. We love soccer, but we love each other even more. As a student-run club only partially funded by UCLA, we rely on individual dues and community donations for funding. Thanks to our strong network of friends, family, and alumni, we are able to raise thousands of dollars each year in order to finance everything from equipment to tournament fees to plane tickets. Last year, we were able to raise over $10,000, which helped take us to victory. However, none of this is possible without the generosity of our donors. This year, we will be competing for the USCCS National Championship in Bradenton, Florida! Our fundraising goal is to raise $12,000, most of which will go toward covering travel expenses for the trip, which is why we need your help as a donor! PROGRAM HISTORY UCLA Women‘s Club Soccer strives for success in all aspects of our lives, from the field to the classroom, to jobs and even when having fun. While we practice 3 times a week and play up to 5 games on weekends, players also devote time to other clubs and activities—all this on top of the demanding coursework required of students at UCLA! Each player is inspired by the drive, talent, and tenacity of her teammates to set high goals; the support we receive from each other allows us to reach them. Off the field, we have become close friends and made connections which have endured long after graduating. This program has a long history of excellence, and each season we are able to keep getting better and better. In 2019, our team made it to the semi-finals of the closed division of the NIRSA national competition. In 2021, we placed first in our league, as well as within the top 16 teams in the country. In 2022, of course, we defeated Kansas University in the open division championship game of Nationals. This set us up for our most successful season in our program’s history in 2023, with victories in UCSB Tournament, a National Championship and a victory in league. As mentioned earlier, we were also able to take home another championship in the open division this past year! None of this would be possible without the generous gifts we receive from donors. Not only does it help fund our competitions and travel fees, but it also helps alleviate the financial stress for players who already pay for tuition, housing, textbooks, and food. Whatever amount we do not raise, we pay for out of pocket, which is why every amount makes a difference! With your help, players can continue to play the game they love without the financial stress, and, as an added benefit to donors, your donations are tax-deductible! Thank you for taking the time to read about our team! We cannot wait for nationals and are so excited to see where the year takes us. We could not do it without you. GO BRUINS!!!
