At the USC School of Cinematic Arts (SCA), storytelling is at the heart of everything we do.
This Day of SCupport is a chance to uplift the programs and people who bring those stories to life. Your investment strengthens the work of our students and faculty today, and it ensures that future filmmakers, game designers, and media innovators have the freedom to push boundaries and redefine how stories are told.

As we look ahead to our 100th anniversary in 2029, we celebrate a legacy that has evolved alongside the art and technology of cinema—from the earliest talkies to today’s immersive, virtual, and interactive experiences. SCA has always been at the forefront of defining what comes next.

Your Day of SCupport gift fuels this momentum.

SCA is a global community of creators, scholars, innovators, and visionaries. Alumni, parents, and friends like you ensure that our students receive the highest level of instruction and opportunity. With your gift—today—you help us:

  • Recruit and retain exceptional student talent and world-class faculty

  • Strengthen our curriculum and hands-on learning experiences

  • Expand essential resources, technology, and facilities

  • Empower the next generation of industry leaders and storytellers

Every contribution made today has an immediate impact and helps secure the future of the cinematic arts.

Thank you for being a part of the SCA family. Your Day of SCupport investment sustains our tradition of excellence and propels us into the next century of creativity, innovation, and storytelling.
