Senior Class Gift
The Senior Class Gift is your first opportunity to give back to UCR. The money raised through the Senior Gift campaign is designed to provide funding for the needs of the campus that are not generally supported by tuition or by state funds.
This year, your elected ASUCR representatives have chosen to launch the Operation Education campaign to help raise funds for scholarships benefiting military veterans who have served since Sept. 11, 2001. The scholarships will provide much needed resources for veterans who were disabled while on active duty, enabling them to acquire new skills, pursue new careers, and sustain their financial independence.
With your help, the Class of 2012 will leave a lasting legacy, benefiting military families and honoring those who have served and sacrificed for our county. Learn more about Operation Education today.
Show your Highlander pride by contributing $20.12 in honor of the Class of 2012. Make your gift today and, as a token of our appreciation, you will also receive a UCR Class of 2012 license plate holder.
Any gift, regardless of size, is welcome and will be recognized in the Honor Roll of Donors in the Commencement Program. (Gifts must be made by May 11, 2012).

Why We Give...
Whether or not you received financial aid while you are at UCR, your education has been partially financed by private support. Tuition and state funding makes up less than two-thirds of the actual cost of UCR education — gifts from alumni, parents and friends make up the rest.
The Class of 2012 and future classes have been fortunate to receive support from those who came before us. It is now our turn to continue the tradition for current and future students.
Carrying on the Tradition
The big "C" on Box Springs Mountain is considered the first gift from students to UCR in 1955. Since that time, seniors have made gifts to the campus that include:
- Scholarship support for future students.
- Support for the Learning Center.
- Funds to re-plant trees lost during construction.
- Reserve books for the UCR Libraries
- Funds for recycling efforts on campus
