Today, a shifting economy poses a significant challenge to UCLA-bound students, but alumni and friends of the University have the ability to turn the dream of a quality education into solid reality.
By investing in students, we transform the trajectory of the individual.
By providing the means for outstanding scholars to reach their potential, we skip a stone into the waters of promise creating unlimited ripples of hope.
By demonstrating support for students, UCLA remains competitive to recruit world-class faculty and students.
Now is the time to make a steadfast promise of financial support to deserving students who have earned the right to call themselves Bruins. By investing in their potential, we move confidently toward the future and maintain the value of the UCLA degree.
Supporting extraordinary students is the best way to safeguard UCLA. Your gift will:
Make it possible for aspiring Bruin leaders to have the skills needed to lead.
Give tomorrow’s innovators and visionaries the tools to achieve the extraordinary.
Help Bruins from all disciplines fulfill UCLA’s primary purpose to create, disseminate, preserve, and apply knowledge for the betterment of our global society.

Alumni Scholarships: A Continuing Legacy
“As the daughter of parents who immigrated from Guatemala, I was the first in my family to attend college.”
Liz Aguilar-Tarchi ’79
“It was gratifying and eased the pressure on my parents and me to come up with the money, but I don’t think it changed my life in the way that I hope today’s scholarships do.”
Anne Berkovitz ’49, J.D. ’80
“What I remember most about UCLA was meeting friends that I have kept my entire life, including my wife, Laurel ’89.”
Rex Black ’90
“I was about 1,000 people down on the waiting list to get a dorm room and couldn’t afford an apartment. Because I was an Alumni Scholar, I got into the dorm my first year.”
Hon. Sheri Bluebond ’82, J.D. ’85
“I applied to only one university, UCLA, but I never dreamed I would be accepted.”
