Your generous donation supports the Rita Olsen Pister Endowment, from which the total annual interest earned goes toward scholarships for re-entry students-independent, nontraditional students returning to education after an extended break. Despite many challenges, most re-entry students reach their degree objectives. These students often face unique financial hurdles, and your support makes a tremendous impact. In 2016, the UCSC Women's Club awarded $25,000 in scholarships with funds from the Endowment plus other fundraising activities.
