Affordability Initiative Scholarships

BRILLIANT TODAY, BRIGHTER TOMORROW

UCLA scholarships create the opportunity for students to reach their full potential with access to the unparalleled resources, faculty and community of the No. 1 public university in the nation.

As the leading elite institution for enrolling low- and middle-income students and ensuring they graduate with little or no student debt, UCLA provides a path to a better future. Scholarships give many students their start.

You can help

About half of Bruin undergraduates pay no tuition or fees to attend UCLA. However, the total cost of a bachelor’s degree also includes paying for housing, meals, textbooks, supplies and more, creating a financial challenge for many students and their families. This can prevent some students from enrolling or even applying to UCLA. Scholarships are the solution.

Bruins are the leaders, innovators and change-makers of tomorrow. By supporting them, you can make a profound impact on the lives of students striving to advance both academically and professionally. Your gift makes their journey possible.

Elevate the student experience

Students who receive scholarship support are relieved of financial worries. They feel more confident, connected and optimistic. Without the need for employment, they can focus on their studies, join campus groups to develop their leadership skills and participate in career-aligned internships or research projects during the academic year. In fact, one in four Bruins embarks on research while an undergraduate.

Every gift to scholarships makes a difference. Your support makes you part of the UCLA Affordability Initiative, a campuswide effort to ensure that exceptional students with the talent and desire to make a difference can attend and thrive at UCLA, regardless of their financial circumstances. You can help us build brighter futures.
