Information on UCLA Alumni Scholarship

I'm looking into scholarship opportunities that could reduce my tuition cost at UCLA. Can anyone tell me more about the Alumni Scholarship? What are the eligibility criteria and how much funding does it usually provide?

The UCLA Alumni Scholarship is a highly competitive program available to entering freshmen and transfer students. It's managed by the UCLA Alumni Association and the applicants are expected to have incredible academic achievements, along with strong involvement in community service and leadership roles.

While academic performance is a crucial factor, the selection committee primarily looks for students that have demonstrated commitment to service and leadership, in addition to overcoming personal challenges.

The amount of the scholarship varies and is awarded in different categories. For example, freshmen might receive multi-year awards of $4,000 per year, and transfer students might receive one-time awards of $4,000.

It's also worth noting that the recipients of the UCLA Alumni Scholarship also have access to other benefits, such as mentoring programs, leadership development, and various networking opportunities with alumni.

However, remember that as scholarships go, this is particularly competitive. All potential applicants should make sure they have a strong mix of academic achievement, community service, and leadership experience to be considered for the award. Also keep in mind that applying for this scholarship does not mean you should not seek out other financial aid opportunities. Best of luck!
