Support Opportunities

There are a number of opportunities for you to support UCLA Arts with your gift!

  • The Dean’s Fund for Excellence
  • Supporting Students
  • Faculty Support
  • Keeping UCLA Arts Programs Strong
  • Public Arts Support

The Dean’s Fund for Excellence

The Dean’s Fund for Excellence is the annual giving program of the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture. An unrestricted gift to the Dean’s fund is allocated to support the highest priority needs of the School. Your gift enhances the learning experience at UCLA - whether it provides scholarships and fellowships, supports visiting artists and scholars, or funds student performance workshops, faculty initiatives or community outreach efforts.

Supporting Students

Many undergraduates receive need-based financial aid or academic merit scholarships, or both. You can express your commitment to UCLA Arts by allocating your gift to undergraduate or and graduate students. Your support can help talented young students who have been faced with a 32 percent increase in their tuition and fees – and who might not be able to afford a degree without private assistance to fulfill their dreams of a superior education.
