Chancellor’s Greatest Needs Fund

Ensuring Success at UCLA

The Chancellor’s Greatest Needs helps UCLA provide one of the most transformative educational experiences and environments in the world! Through this vital fund, UCLA has the means to support and empower Bruins in as many ways as possible, ensuring their growth and success.

Hear from some of our students the positive opportunities that generous gifts of all sizes from donors like you create – from fostering generational social mobility to attracting top-tier faculty and staff to delivering comprehensive health and wellness care.

From Adanna C., 3rd year Psychobiology major

“My dream is to go on to pharmacy school, become successful and give back to my parents. Both of my parents immigrated here from Nigeria. They’ve put in a lot of work to put me and my sisters through school, which is not easy. UCLA is helping me on my path to do that.”

From Alice C., 3rd year Law student

“In LA there are very few parks and I like that there’s a lot of green, open space on campus. The Health Resources also work really well – the Ash Center, Campus Dental – I get good care as well as a pharmacy. UCLA faculty and staff are top of their field and very engaged in student success.”

From Yitian C., 4th year Mechanical Engineering student

“There are a variety of workouts that you can choose on campus to stay healthy! UCLA Recreation provides tennis classes, dance classes, HIIT classes and more.”

The Chancellor’s Greatest Needs Fund helps to maintain the excellence of the UCLA student experience for students like Adanna, Alice and Yitian, and for future generations of Bruins. We are the #1 public university and part of that is because of the resources and support offered through the Chancellor’s Greatest Needs Fund and the generosity of donors like you!
