In 2024, U.S. News & World Report ranked UC Riverside No. 1 in the nation for social mobility. One of the ways UCR elevates its low-income graduates to a higher standard of living is by offering equitable access to quality education, something made possible by student-focused programs such as Loan2Learn.
The Loan2Learn program is one of the most highly requested student services from Information Technology Solutions. Through the program, students in need can loan academic technology resources quarterly and at no additional cost so that they can successfully complete their coursework and obtain their degree from UCR.
Since it was launched in 2020, Loan2Learn has served more than 2,000 students and counting, highlighting the need for equitable access to learning devices and technology for all Highlanders.
UCR alumnus Michael, a Mathematics for Secondary School Teachers graduate, shared how Loan2Learn helped him fulfill his academic work: "When my laptop stopped working in the middle of winter 2022, I was panicking, thinking I had to buy a new one. I was worried about how I would be able to purchase a laptop that I hadn't saved and prepared for yet. The Loan2Learn program has had the BEST, BIGGEST, and most POSITIVE impact on my ability to study at UCR and graduate! This program has allowed me to not worry about my finances and focus on my studies instead. I really appreciate this program and everyone who runs it!”
With initial funding now depleted, we need your support to keep Loan2Learn going. Your gift can provide a student with the tools they need to succeed. Donate today and make a lasting impact!
