I'm interested in applying to UCLA, but as an international student, I'm concerned about tuition. Can someone share information about the scholarships available for us at UCLA? Do they cover a significant portion of tuition?
Yes, UCLA offers several scholarships that are available to international students. For example, the Chancellor's Blue and Gold Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship that awards up to $5,000 per year for four years—renewable annually, based on academic performance.
However, it's essential to remember that while these scholarships can help, they may not cover all tuition costs, let alone living expenses. Therefore, you should not rely solely on these for funding your education at UCLA. It's also important to explore all forms of financial aid available to you, such as from your government, independent organizations in your home country, and private sources.
UCLA also has a Financial Aid and Scholarships office that maintains a list of external scholarships that international students might qualify for, so you should definitely check out their website for more information. Remember, scholarships can get competitive, and it pays (literally) to apply early.
Good luck with your search, and I hope you find the financing you need for your education!
