| WHAT IS THE SENIOR CLASS GIFT? |
| A longstanding Gaucho tradition, the senior class gift is your first opportunity to give back to UCSB. Each year, the Associated Students determines how UC Santa Barbara will benefit from the senior gift. The Class of 2009 Gift (in the form of a donation to the Alumni Association Scholarship Fund) will go to protect the most valuable resource at UC Santa Barbara: Gaucho students! |
WHAT IS THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
SCHOLARSHIP FUND (AASF)? |
| The AASF is a brand new endowed scholarship fund recently launched by the Alumni Association that can benefit any current UCSB student who qualifies for financial aid and is performing well academically. 100 percent of the donations to the fund will go to UCSB students. Initially, all funds will be awarded by the UC Santa Barbara Office of Financial Aid. |
| HOW DOES UCSB'S SENIOR CLASS GIFT (FROM 2008) RANK WITH OUR SISTER SCHOOLS? |

UCLA 2008 Senior Class Gift:
UCSB 2008 Senior Class Gift: |
$67,321
$60,041
$4,983 |
Let’s make the 2009 Senior Class Gift the biggest, and most meaningful in UC Santa Barbara history! If each graduating senior were to give $20.09, the AASF would benefit from a total gift of more than $90,000!

LEAVE A LEGACY! |
| Since the AASF is an endowed scholarship fund, your contribution will help Gauchos forever! Because of the current economic situation, there has never been a more important time for GAUCHOS HELPING GAUCHOS! |
HONOR SOMEONE WHO MADE
A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE! |
| A donation to the AASF in the name of a professor, staff member or family member is an excellent way to express your gratitude. The honored individual will receive a letter informing them of your thoughtfulness, and will be listed in an issue of the UC Santa Barbara Alumni Association magazine, Coastlines. |
