YOU DID IT! WE'VE HIT OUR GOAL!

April 29, 2019

Dear Donors,

 

Thanks to you, we’ve surpassed our $25,000 goal early to help students who are suffering from an economic crisis!!

 

So far, 114 donors have contributed to help give every UCLA student the opportunity to achieve their degree! With your generous support, the Economic Crisis Response Team will be able to vastly expand its reach and provide more dining hall meal vouchers, emergency housing, short-term loans, and grants for the students who depend on it. Because of you, these students will be able to stay in school and take control of their futures.

 

We could not have done this without you, and we sincerely thank each and every one of you! 

 

Thank you, and go Bruins!

$20.19

Centennial Class of 2019

Give a gift of $20.19 in honor of the Centennial Class of 2019! Your gift, combined with others, can give a graduating UCLA student the financial security they need to finish this year strong and complete their degree!

$50

Food Assistance

Can provide a week's worth of dining hall meals for a Bruin struggling with food insecurity.

$100

Unexpected Medical Cost

Can cover an unexpected medical cost for a student afflicted by the flu, or in need of prescription medication due to mental or physical health complications.

$200

Unexpected Transportation Cost

Can help mitigate an unanticipated transportation cost. Many students who rely on the ECRT commute to campus, and an accident like a flat tire could be detrimental to a student on a tight budget.

$350

Emergency Housing

Can provide a full 2 weeks of safe, on-campus emergency housing for a student in need!

$500

Short-term Loan

Can provide a short-term, interest-free loan for students with time-sensitive needs and gaps in funding. A short-term loan can keep a student from facing things like eviction, and help them break the cycle of financial insecurity.

$1,000

ECRT Grant

A $1000 grant can support a student to degree completion by ensuring that they are able to meet all their basic needs on a regular basis. The cost of education goes beyond just tuition, and there are many factors that affect a student's trajectory. This generous gift can help them achieve the dream of a UCLA diploma.
