Thank you everyone! We are amazed and humbled by your collective efforts and generosity!
With the generosity of over 70 donors we have reached our goal of crowdfunding $10,000 for the Public Health Alumni Association (PHAA) Diversity Scholarships! This will fund 5 scholarships that will go to underrepresented minority students at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. We are so humbled by and appreciative of our community's collective effort to support both students and diversity and inclusion efforts at the School of Public Health. Thank you so much to all who contributed to our crowdfunding and to those who shared our campaign with your colleagues, friends, and family. All your support and help means so much to us.
Our campaign doesn't come to a close until March 3rd so we have a little over a week left to raise even more funds for student scholarships! We have a stretch goal of $6,000 to fund an additional 3 scholarships at $2,000. Please help us continue to spread the campaign and support students from underrepresented backgrounds.

Thank you again,
Public Health Alumni Association Board
We are just about a week into this crowdfunding campaign and we have already raised over half of our goal! Thank you so much to those who have contributed so far! We greatly appreciate your support, both big and small contributions, and for sharing our campaign with your colleagues, friends, and family! We still have 3 weeks to raise the remaining 40% of our goal and I know with our continued effort and your generosity and support that we can make these scholarships a reality for students at the School of Public Health!
Big thanks to our early donors! We're already at 35% of our goal of raising $10,000 in scholarships for underrepresented minority students!
