UCLA Scholarships 2026: Pathways to a Debt-Free Education

Honor the future Class of 2030 with a gift that will help make UCLA a possibility for our most deserving students with your gift to scholarships.

Make a contribution to be a part of the Affordability Initiative, a UCLA campus-wide effort working towards pathways to a debt-free education by 2030.

For the first 250 donors, a gift of $100 or more will be matched with an additional $300, creating a total impact of $400. That's equivalent to approximately one month of student debt for the average UCLA student during their undergraduate journey.

With the average UCLA student graduating with $19,000 in debt, your $400 gift helps lift the burden of what would have been one month of student loan payments: allowing students to step into their futures with greater freedom.

UCLA enrolls more Pell Grant recipients than all the Ivy Leagues combined. Match the minimum Pell Grant Award with your gift today.

Cover a student’s first month of tuition and give them the space to focus, learn, and thrive.

Cover one year of a student’s personal expenses and prevent them for taking on another job to cover these costs.

We have found that a $5,000 scholarship is the difference between a student being able to say 'Yes' to attending UCLA and turning the dream away. Your gift ensures that financial barriers never stand in the way of potential.
