Slug Support

The Slug Support Program promotes early intervention with students of concern to prevent culminating problems from escalating into a crisis. Our goal is to address emergency situations, remove financial barriers, and provide resources so that every student can make academic progress and ultimately graduate from UC Santa Cruz. A donation to Slug Support will help students pay for essentials they need to be successful holistically. We issue awards to students for everything from food and housing to medical and mental health costs, transportation, and school supplies. Help us help students!
