Thanks to your support, we are thrilled to announce that we have reached 110% of our goal, raising $38,722 to support the VIP Scholars Program and the AAP Alumni Network at UCLA! We are blown away by the surge of support in the last days of the campaign. Because of your generosity, VIPS will be able to expand its yearly cohorts, ensuring more high school students can benefit from its resources and become competitive applicants to UCLA and other top schools. This is the perfect way to kick off 2025 as VIPS celebrates its 20th anniversary. Keep an eye out for additional VIPS 20th Anniversary programming later this year. 

And just as VIPS helps bring in the new cohorts of AAP, the AAP Alumni Network (AAPAN) ensures that our talented students continue to have a community of support after graduation. Thanks to your help, $7,500 of proceeds will fund AAPAN's 2025 programming, including mentorship, career panels, a reunion and a new Bruin send-off. Learn more and get involved in AAPAN here.

Once again, thank you so much for your incredible generosity. It is our amazing community that makes programs like these possible. We wish you all the best in this new year!  

Dear AAP community, 

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we are halfway to our fundraising goal to support VIPS and AAPAN! Thanks to 115 donors, we've already raised $16,855 for our students! More LA-area high school students will already be able to join the AAP community as VIPS scholars because of your support. 

Because of the incredible support we've received in the last few days, we are extending our campaign until the end of the year, December 31st. To learn more about how your gift directly makes a difference for our students, read alumna Elon Morris' story about her experience with VIPS and AAP below. 

Please continue sharing the campaign with your friends and family until midnight on 12/31. https://spark.ucla.edu/VIPS2024.

Thank you for supporting the Academic Advancement Program and Go Bruins!
