This four-year scholarship was established and continues to recognize and support students from historically underrepresented backgrounds who add to the diversity of the UCLA community. These scholarships are merit based. Additional assistance in the form of grants may be provided to students with demonstrated financial need. Applicants who receive UCLA Alumni Scholarhips will be required to complete 30 hours of service to UCLA annually to be eligible for award renewals. Strength and breadth of academic program, grades and test scores are considered.
Minimums vary from year to year depending upon the applicant pool.
