At no extra cost, you can choose to divert $5 of each festival ticket purchased towards student scholarships. Our UC Irvine Alumni family is here to support students from the moment they first step onto campus. 

Each year, we award more than $196,000 to support and retain the best and brightest students of UC Irvine. Scholarships include the UCIAA Scholarship, Distinguished Anteater Scholarship, Aldrich Fellowship and various scholarships provided by our UC Irvine Alumni Chapters. This is only made possible by the unending support of our generous donors like you. To learn more about scholarships click here!
