Student Travel Award





*We’re almost to the end!*

With just 5 more hours left on this Give Day, we’re sending one last plea
to help us reach our challenge goals!

*UCRRA Undergraduate Scholarship*

SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union is generously supporting the UCR
Retirees' Association Scholarship Fund with a *generous $12,500 gift
unlocked once 425 UCR retiree, emeriti, staff, and faculty members make a
donation toward UCR Give Day!* Help us make this happen by donating during
UCR’s Give Day. Be sure to select ‘faculty/staff’ or “emeriti and retiree
faculty/staff” when processing your donation online so your gift counts
toward our goal. A huge thank you to SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union for
partnering with us to make a greater impact on the UCR community!

Thank you to the 21 donors who have made generous gifts. If you haven’t
already, please make your gift now! All gifts, big (as much as you want) or
small (as little as $10), are welcome and we kindly ask you to visit the
webpage during UCR’s Give Day* today until Wednesday, April 8 at 12:00
p.m.* *Pacific
Time* to give a gift at:

https://www.givecampus.com/schools/UniversityofCaliforniaRiverside/2026-ucr-give-day/pages/ucr-faculty-and-staff-programs/ucr-retirees-association

*UCREA Graduate Student Travel Award*

Four generous donors have committed a combined pledge of *$4,000* in
support of Give Day. Their combined pledge will match donations to the UCR
Emeriti Association Graduate Student Travel Award Fund *dollar for dollar,
up to $1,000 per gift, up to a total of $4,000 for all gifts*.

We are thankful to the 18 donors who have graciously made gifts to support
graduate students. There is still time to join us in this important cause
as UCR’s Give Day ends this *afternoon at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time*. Every
gift, great or small counts and is greatly appreciated and can be given at:

https://www.givecampus.com/schools/UniversityofCaliforniaRiverside/2026-ucr-give-day/pages/ucr-faculty-and-staff-programs/ucr-emeriti-association-graduate-student-travel-award

What an amazing effort to come together to support UCR students. We thank
you!

Sincerely,
