About Sustaining Gifts

Power a Student Journey with a Sustaining Gift

Lamp of Learning reduces the barriers that high-achieving, low-income students in San Diego County face when they prepare, apply, and pay for a university education through mentoring and scholarship programs.

Your monthly support keeps seminars running, scholarships funded, and student success on track. Together, we make sure that determination and talent—not income—define opportunity.

Choose Your Gift

You can make a lasting difference with a recurring monthly gift or a one-time donation.
