UCLA Anderson Fundraising Facts
 
The Anderson Leadership Giving Challenge is made possible through the generous support of our esteemed benefactor, Marion Anderson. Marion designated a portion of her historic $100 million gift as a match to incentivize alumni and friends of UCLA Anderson to specifically support faculty and students.

Our Priorities
 

A Special Emphasis on Fellowships

  • We must compete for the best students.
  • The quality of an institution is largely measured by the quality of its students.
  • A reduction in GMAT test takers, coupled with a decline in business school students, leads to a flight to the top schools, increasing competition for the best students.
  • We must offset tuition increases (tuition has increased from $41,000 to $64,000 in just the past six years).
  • A strong job market means a higher opportunity cost for graduate school, leading to fewer students.
  • Employers are no longer footing the bill for graduate school; students must pay their own way.
  • We must build our endowment in order to provide greater financial assistance.

Our Faculty Is Our Differentiation

  • Compete for top academic talent (many tenured faculty will be retiring within the next five years; we plan to recruit 10 new faculty over the next two years)
  • Support expanding faculty needs due to new degree programs and faculty retirements
  • Preserve our intellectual capital and critical link to alumni
  • Enhance our vanguard research reputation and industry relevance
  • Lead innovations in teaching
