Our Crowdfunding Groups
Our crowdfunding campaign has ended but you can still support the Graduate Division by clicking here.
Dear past Grad Slam supporters,
I am so excited to announce a generous match challenge for our crowdfunding campaign! A generous donor who has seen the amazing impact Grad Slam has on our student population has decided to give $5,000 and offered a challenge for us. If we can get 30 new gifts in the next week, the donor will give an additional $5,000!
You can help us beat the challenge and renew your support of Grad Slam here: https://spark.ucla.edu/amb/gradslam2024
A gift of any amount will contribute to the match challenge and, ultimately, the future success of graduate students like me as we forge ahead to find solutions to climate change, dismantle systems of injustice, and advance human knowledge.
Don't forget to join us for the live stream or attend in person on April 2 to watch the top 10 graduate student researchers compete and witness their revolutionary research unfold!
Thank you for supporting our future success and allowing us to share our research with you!
Sincerely,
Brandon Tsai
2023 UCLA and UC-Wide Grad Slam Winner

Dear Grad Slam supporters,
Thank you for your generous gift to the UCLA Grad Slam Crowdfunding campaign in 2020! You helped pave the way for new donors and friends to support the highest level of academic competition at UCLA!
Now, 4 years later, the 2024 UCLA Grad Slam is well underway with our top 10 finalists ready to compete at the main event on April 2. Last year, our very own Brandon Tsai took home the grand prize at both the UCLA and UC-wide competition and we need your help to do it again this year!
Grad Slam is supported by philanthropic contributions without which would not be possible. We need your help to raise $50,000 to support Grad Slam. A gift of any amount will contribute to the future success of our graduate students as they forge ahead to find solutions to climate change, dismantle systems of injustice, and advance human knowledge.
Thank you again for your past support! We hope that even 4 years later, you believe in our students and the importance of bringing their groundbreaking research to the public!
Sincerely,
UCLA Division of Graduate Education
