We had 32 applications this year so 16 other applicants who unfortunately could not be accommodated but are nevertheless pursuing significant professional development and academic enrichment. Hopefully, we will be able to raise more money this upcoming fiscal year to award at least 20 scholarships. In order to do that, please consider donating here or signing up for Payroll Deduction Donations – spare just $5 per paycheck to help ensure that the dedicated professionals who serve the students, faculty and administration all year round will continue to grow and thrive at UCI. We are making progress, thanks to generous support and donations from UCI colleagues and retirees. Together we can make a difference!
