Blue & Gold Challenge has ended, but you can still support Samueli's Engineering Student Projects by clicking here.
Educating Tomorrow’s Bruin Engineers - Bring Student Projects to Life!
What is the Engineering Student Projects Fund?
The Engineering Student Projects Fund provides pivotal support to our students by ensuring their clubs have the funding and resources they need. With over 50 student clubs available to join, UCLA Samueli offers unparalleled hands-on opportunities for students to learn and grow within their chosen fields.
Without financial support, our students would not have the same ability to build their projects and gain the direct experience they need to succeed outside the classroom.
How will my donation be used?
Your support will go towards increasing the amount of funding we are able to provide our student clubs and organizations to bring their projects to life. Some examples of past projects include:
creating underwater robotics
3D printing biomedical supplies
building racecars from scratch
This past academic year, a record 48 student projects were supported across 17 student organizations. 
Thank You!
We truly appreciate your assistance in strengthening our students' experiences!
