Support UCR Students!
When you give to UCR you support academic excellence, research, and your student’s journey at UCR.
“As parents, we are very proud of the accomplishments of our UCR student, having graduated from this fine and wonderful research university. UCR is a place for exploration, acceptance, and guidance; this is the same passion my wife and I strive to share with our children. If this is your wish for your child, you’ve come to the right place.”
- MICHAEL AND DEBBIE ELKINS
