Gifts of any size can be made in support of ������ý’s general scholarship fund, which distributes awards to students with immediate need, within the year it was received, or to an existing named scholarship fund. Every contribution makes a significant difference in helping students thrive academically, creatively, and beyond.

Spend down annual scholarships

Gifts to spend down scholarships provide immediate support to students with the most pressing needs. These funds are essential for continuing and prospective students who urgently need financial aid in order to enroll at ������ý.

• Gifts over $5,000 are eligible to be named and awarded in full for the academic year.
• The scholarship is viable for as long as annual contributions are made.
• Unrestricted scholarship gifts enable ������ý to provide aid to as many deserving students as possible regardless of major and level of study.
• Awarding is administered by the ������ý Financial Aid office based on financial and merit qualifications.

������ý is a wellspring of creative talent in the heart of the Bay Area. Scholarships enable us to bring the brightest art and design students from around the world to live, learn, and work throughout the region.

Scholarship and financial aid support has a demonstrated impact on student retention, academic achievement, and career success. ������ý graduates are trained to cultivate intellectual curiosity, risk-taking, collaboration, innovation, compassion, and integrity, and they are highly sought after by companies such as Pixar/Disney, Apple, Intel, Facebook, Gensler, Google, IDEO, Autodesk, Mattel, and Nike, and many launch their own businesses. Alumni work is featured in major museum collections such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, MoMA New York, the Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum, SFMOMA, and Tate Modern.
