Through gifts to the Engineering Annual Fund,
alumni and friends have the opportunity to take an active role
in the life of the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and
Applied Science, and ensure that the School's future is
as bright as its past.
These unrestricted annual gifts allow the School
to:
- Offer scholarships and fellowships to extraordinary
students;
- Attract and retain world-class faculty;
- Maintain state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms
and research facilities; and
- Develop new courses.
Boelter Society
Alumni and friends who make an annual, unrestricted leadership
gift of $1,000 or more are recognized as members of the Boelter
Society, named for the School’s first Dean, Llewellyn M.K.
Boelter. These generous donors inspire our students and faculty
through their commitment to engineering excellence.
Alumni Participation
Every gift to the School increases the rate of alumni participation,
which is a factor in annual rankings and also critical to our
ability to leverage additional financial support from corporations
and foundations. Every gift from a graduate of the School counts
towards the alumni participation rate - whether it is $5, $25,
$100 or $10,000.
Smaller Gifts – Big Impact
In addition to their impact on alumni participation rates, small
gifts make a big difference in the amount of unrestricted funds
available in the School. In 2002-03, gifts to the Engineering
Annual Fund in the $10 to $100 range totaled more than $52,500.
Gifts to Departments
Alumni may also make unrestricted gifts directly to a department
in the School. These funds are used at the discretion of the department
chair to meet immediate departmental priorities.
