After the UC Application has been filed, applicants will be mailed a School of the Arts and Architecture supplemental application in December. Screening activities and deadlines vary by department, and are scheduled throughout the months of January and February. Admission decisions are recommended by faculty committees in each department. The UCLA Financial Aid Office offers support services to students who need assistance in financing their education. The types of financial aid funds available include scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study employment.
Scholarships are gift monies which recognize talent and academic achievement.
In addition to Regents and Alumni scholarships, the University administers numerous restricted scholarships funded by private donors, most of which are based on financial need as well as academic achievement. Entering students apply for scholarships in conjunction with their admission application. Financial assistance is available to those who qualify on the basis of need. The Financial Aid Office calculates need based on the financial resources of the student and his or her family. The School of the Arts and Architecture sponsors several programs for prospective students throughout the year, including the annual spring open house.
