Bob Seizer Memorial Endowment

In memory of Bob Seizer ‘54, our wonderful husband and father, we have established the Bob Seizer Daily Bruin Scholarship to support and inspire student journalists at UCLA to pursue a career in journalism when they graduate. We think Bob would have loved this tribute in his honor.

Bob was the Sports Editor of the Daily Bruin from 1951 to 1954, combining his love of sports and of writing. His column was “Sizing It Up” – and he did that so well. Bob went on to join the LA Times as a sports reporter, then on to writing a national radio show, later to directing eight Olympics films, writing books with UCLA’s basketball coaches and instructionals with the best golf players and, capping his sports career, directing, and producing a long-running Emmy-winning sports interview show, called both “Up Close” and “SportsLook”, that aired daily on national television. The UCLA Daily Bruin paved the way for him, and he left big footsteps for his successors to fill. He mentored many in his field, and this Endowment will build on that legacy. Student editors will receive this merit-based Scholarship, relieving their financial burden and allowing them to spend more time on the Daily Bruin.

Starting in the academic year 2025-2026, the Endowment will award its first merit-based scholarship to a student staff member of the Daily Bruin and continue to support them throughout their time at UCLA as they pursue their future careers in journalism, media, or related field. As the Endowment grows, so will the impact of the scholarship with additional students being supported in the years to come. Your gift to the Bob Seizer Daily Bruin Scholarship will ensure funding exists in perpetuity to support generations of Daily Bruin student staffers.

With gratitude,
Fern Seizer, Steven Seizer, and Susan Seizer
