Read and Rank Merit-Based Scholarship Applications for Newly Admitted UCLA Students
All it takes is a commitment of a few hours to make a difference in the lives of future Bruins.
Bruins Forever is more than a slogan; it is a state of being. We stand together and answer the call to support one another when we can. UCLA Alumni Scholarships is looking for volunteers to read scholarship applications for newly admitted students. We need your passion and wisdom to help identify the best of the best from an incredible pool of potential Bruins.
Each student has demonstrated excellence, rising to the top of more than 100,000 applicants. Alumni Scholarship recipients exceed that standard. These highly competitive students will make one of the most significant decisions of their lives to date while most likely ranking multiple acceptances and worrying about finances. We want them to choose UCLA.
Receiving an Alumni Scholarship does more than ease their financial burden. It guarantees a thriving community of scholars will be waiting to welcome them. When students tally the pros and cons of each institution that admitted them, an Alumni Scholarship, coupled with all of the possibilities UCLA offers, can make a difference and guarantee the coveted SIR on Bruin Day.
