Pacific Gives 2024

College of the Pacific offers a modern liberal arts and sciences education that prepares students for today's world. Both in and out of the classroom, our students contribute to a wide range of projects that benefit our communities. We strive to engage students with meaningful, hands-on learning experiences from the moment they arrive on campus. From experiential learning programs to state-of-the-art technology, we pride ourselves on providing students with impactful opportunities. 

We encourage you to support Pacific students with a gift to one of the opportunities below. You may also direct your gift to any area within College of the Pacific by selecting “Other” on the donation form.

College of the Pacific Retention Scholarship Fund

Retention scholarships keep students at Pacific and on track to complete their degrees. Through the generosity of donors, the College of the Pacific Retention Scholarship Fund provides awards of up to $10,000, which is the average gap in funding. Students may apply for a retention scholarship anytime throughout the year. 

Paul Winters Tournament Endowment

Excellence in Forensics is a Pacific tradition. For more than seven decades, University of the Pacific has competed with distinction — and has often been highly successful — in intercollegiate speech and debate (forensics) at both regional and national levels. Show your support for the team and help continue the tradition with a donation to Paul Winters Forensics Tournament Endowment.

COP Dean's Fund

Gifts to this fund enrich the student experience both inside and outside the classroom. Your support will help to provide an array of experiential learning opportunities, including professional development for students and faculty, conferences, peer‑to‑peer mentorship programs and so much more.

Calliope Student Journal

Calliope is Pacific's premiere arts and literary journal and has received national acclaim, including several Apex Awards for Publication Excellence. For more than half a century, Calliope has provided an enduring vehicle of self-expression and creativity for Pacific's multitalented writers, artists, and designers. Your support will provide students with the necessary resources to design, edit, and publish this extraordinary project.
