The UCLA Family takes great pride in its athletic program. Since 1950, UCLA teams have rewarded students, friends and alumni with 75 NCAA team championships (61 of which have been won by the men and 14 by the women), the highest total in the country. The 1996-97 year proved to be a perfect example of how the dedication and determination of Bruin student-athletes maintain UCLA's winning tradition of academic and athletic excellence. This past school year three UCLA teams demonstrated that they were the finest in the nation by capturing championship titles: the women's gymnastics team brought home its first national championship and both the men's and women's water polo teams added national team championships to UCLA's impressive totals.

To a large extent, many of these achievements would have been unattainable if not for generous financial contributions to the UCLA Athletic Fund.

Currently, UCLA provides financial assistance to over 400 student-athletes participating in 21 intercollegiate sports. However, expenses such as the cost of tuition for student-athletes have increased dramatically in the last several years while department revenues have remained relatively stable.

Tax-deductible gifts to the UCLA Athletic Fund play a pivotal role in meeting the rapidly escalating costs of team travel, recruiting, equipment replacement and most importantly, in providing athletic scholarships. Now more than ever, private support is necessary if UCLA is to maintain its position as the number one athletic program in the country. Your help is truly needed and greatly appreciated.

To encourage private support of our program, the best football and basketball tickets are allocated to our most generous donors. Members of the Athletic Fund receive priority in the assignment of tickets for home contests in the Rose Bowl and in Pauley Pavilion in accordance with the UCLA Priority Seating Policy. Please refer to the donor benefits chart below to determine season ticket opportunities. In many cases, special reserved parking is also available for our donors.

If you have any questions regarding the UCLA Athletic Fund or the benefits members receive, please contact the Athletic Fund Office at 310/206-3302.
