The Alumni Fund raises unrestricted, current use funds which help support scholarships, research fellowships, and student activities. A successful fund year can have a significant impact on student life. Additionally, both the Alumni Fund and the Alumni Association offer activities that give students the opportunity to strengthen their connection to Caltech and alumni. Opportunities include networking with alumni, involvement with student-alumni events and projects in a fun and social environment.

Student Phone Program

The Student Phone Program (SPP) employs current Caltech undergraduate and graduate students throughout the year. Student callers contact alumni across the country to raise unrestricted, current use funds for Caltech and to strengthen relationships between alumni, students, and the Institute.

Not only do students raise nearly $200,000 in current use funds each year, they gain valuable networking, negotiating, and interviewing experience. This is a great opportunity to become involved with Caltech and have an awesome time doing so. Not only is this a fabulous group of students to work with, but the bonus opportunities are amazing.

If you are a Caltech student interested in earning extra money, talking to Caltech alumni in various fields across the country, and ensuring the success of your alma mater, then apply today!
