Conditions worth reading twice
Restricted to current UCLA Alumni Scholars in their first, second, or third year who have applied for FAFSA/CADAA, received need-based aid, completed 36+ units in the past year, and completed 30 hours of renewal service (10 at UCLA). Minimum GPA is 3.0 for this specific Wasserman award (other Alumni Need Grants use 2.0).
Keeping it after year one
Awards may be reduced if additional gift aid would push a student's aid package above the FAFSA/CADAA-determined maximum. Continuing Alumni Scholars must complete 30 hours of renewal service (including 10 at UCLA) in the past year to remain eligible.
