Welcome to UCLA Financial Aid & Scholarships

UCLA Financial Aid and Scholarships is dedicated to helping students pursue their education by awarding scholarships, grants, and other aid to assist with educational costs. We support the University’s enrollment and retention goals by providing counseling services and access to financial resources in order to increase opportunities for students’ success in reaching their higher education goals. In pursuing our mission we strive to uphold the highest degree of professionalism, confidentiality, integrity, and commitment to quality customer service. UCLA Financial Aid and Scholarships steward Federal, State, and University funds in compliance with regulatory requirements while recognizing and respecting the needs and values of our diverse student body.

Welcome to our incoming freshmen, transfer, and returning students. UCLA Financial Aid & Scholarships is here to offer support and guidance. We provide need-based aid that allows us to bring the best students to UCLA, regardless of their ability to pay. You may be surprised to learn that most students pay less than the full price. In fact, 45% of students pay no tuition at all. Our team is committed to providing students and parents with the information they need to make a UCLA education a reality.​​​
