BASF CAMPAIGN: Nothing Short of Transformative

BASF CAMPAIGN: Nothing Short of Transformative

Supported by matching grants from the San Diego Foundation and two other supporters which were met by BASF donors in February 2025, the Five-Year BASF Campaign is well underway. The campaign will enable BASF to expand a growing and successful scholarship and academic achievement program, one that is making a difference on the UC San Diego campus, in the lives of our Scholars and their families, and in the communities they contribute their talents to as a result of their outstanding education at UC San Diego.

 

RECENT AND PLANNED SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS:

The successful and growing BASF Scholarship Program is beginning to reach a scale that is
impactful on the campus and in the larger community. NOW, the need is to make this growth and
its positive impact sustainable.
