You went to Poly. You know what a great place it is to live and learn and train. And you know San Luis Obispo can draw the best students to our campus. But to compete with the UCLA’s, USC’s, Stanfords, Oregons, NAUs and other western powerhouses, we need more scholarships. Your donations allow the coaching staff to recruit the best people from across the country to make Cal Poly a regular team at the NCAA Championships every year.

The Era Scholarships

Honoring Your Time and Your Coaches

The Era Scholarships let you honor your specific time and coach at Poly and at the same time support the current team and bring the best student athletes to San Luis Obispo.

How Your Era is Doing Helping The Athletes

Our long term goal is to build this fund to cover 8 Full Ride Equivalent Scholarships. That will take time. This fund is already endowed through alumni donations, but not yet at the Full Ride level. As of today, the fund pays $9,000 a year across 9 eras.

Every dollar you invest grows your Era’s number.
