History
CLAA is committed to maintaining Cal’s tradition of academic excellence through diversity and pursuing philanthropic activities that serve the Latino community and its students. To further these goals, CLAA raises funds and manages a scholarship program that benefits low-income undergraduate and graduate Latino students who attend Cal.
In order to raise money for this program, while also providing a networking opportunity for local alums and friends of Cal, we host various fundraising events throughout the year.
Over the past seven years, with the help of fellow Cal alums and corporate sponsors like Fox Studio, Alta-Med, Univision, and Wells Fargo Bank, CLAA has raised more than $80,000. These funds have enabled us to award more than 50 scholarships to well-deserving students.
