SUPPORT SURF TEAM SCHOLARSHIPS
For the last 55
years, the UC San Diego Surf Team has played an integral role in enriching the
student experience, creating community, empowering scholars on and off the
waves, fostering alumni who make local and global impact, and inspiring a
tradition of success. The creation of scholarships for the UC San Diego Surf
Team marks an innovative and new era for the program which will set the tone
for the next 50+ years and pave the way for more National Championships.
Between 1969 and 2019, the Surf team won seven
national championships, making it one of the most successful sports
organizations in UC San Diego history. The Tritons remain competitive BUT have
not won a national championship in almost 20 years. The team continues to
thrive and showcase success in other ways, but they are hungry for the #1 spot.
Scholarships for Sports Clubs teams are rare and this one is a first in UC San
Diego and NSSA history.
Surf Scholarships support students academically
while recruiting talented surf-scholars from around the country to compete for
UC San Diego. The establishment of surf scholarships, coupled with being a
premier university and access to Black’s Beach, UC San Diego will once again
elevate itself to be the top school choice for surfers. Our goal is to raise
$55,000 in honor of our 55th Anniversary and to continue the
momentum towards our ultimate goal of a $312,000+ Scholarship Endowment to
recruit exceptional surfers to UC San Diego.
Join us in celebrating the Surf Team’s 55th
anniversary and continue the tradition of success for many more generations to
come. If there’s a will, there’s a wave! 🌊🌊
