Dr Henry H Chan First Generation Endowed Scholarship

First generation and/or Asian American students who can demonstrate financial need, as determined by the UCLA Financial Aid and Scholarships office, receive preference for the Dr. Henry H. Chan Endowed Scholarship, which was established in 2022 to support full-time UCLA undergraduates.

Note: UCLA administers all Identity-Conscious Financial Aid in compliance with federal, state, and university regulations by using “Pool and Match” applications for unrestricted awards, identity conscious awards, and other restricted awards (major, need, community service, etc.). Identity conscious awards may include a preference for a student’s race, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation for purposes of this policy), color, ethnicity, or national origin. These pooled applications allow students to submit a single “general” application to be considered for multiple scholarships, and are used in determining the source of a recipient’s aid, but not their eligibility, receipt, and amount of financial aid.
