The rising cost of textbooks and course materials puts a financial strain on Triton students, making academic success more challenging than ever. Did you know that some students spend over $1,200 a year on textbooks alone? This forces difficult choices between purchasing required materials and meeting basic needs.
UC San Diego Library plays a vital role in leveling the playing field by maintaining course reserves — providing students with access to high-cost course materials that are not otherwise available. But demand is growing, and we need your help to ensure every student has what they need to succeed.
This Triton Giving Day, your support can:
- Expand the Library’s collection of high-demand textbooks
- Increase access to digital course materials
- Ensure every student has the resources to thrive academically
Your gift to the Library’s Affordable Learning Initiative — no matter the size — helps provide equitable access to learning materials so that every Triton can focus on their education, not the cost of their textbooks.
Support the Library today and invest in student success!
