OUR MISSION
- To Empower students to graduate with less debt – or ideally, no debt at all.
- To Enrich students’ experience: from research to creative activities, from public service to study abroad, we mentor students and help them secure funding to pursue the opportunities they dream of.
- To Support students: Our Center administers donor-funded scholarships for the Division of Undergraduate Education, stewards scholarship recipients through to graduation, and support UCLA students who search for and apply to outside-agency scholarships.
- To Cultivate crucial skills. Our students gain skills that they carry with them far beyond the university: writing, goal setting, self presentation, interviewing, and more.
- To Transform students’ futures: We mentor candidates for nationally competitive scholarships and host UCLA’s chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa honors society.
OUR KEY SERVICES
- Workshops on searching for scholarships; applying to scholarships; writing impactful personal statements; how to ask for letters of recommendation; and more
- One-on-one advising appointments with our graduate advisors to help with your scholarship search
