Regents Scholarship

Financial need is part of how this award is decided, alongside merit.

Award

All Regents Scholars are considered for a $2,000 honorarium regardless of financial need, supplemented by additional need-based aid for students with need. Entering freshmen receive a four-year scholarship (12 straight academic quarters).

Deadline

Selected applicants are invited to submit a Regents Scholarship application at the beginning of February, before admission decisions are released (displayed without a year). The UC application deadline is not listed on the scholarship page.

How to apply

Apply to UCLA through the UC application. UCLA invites selected applicants to complete a separate Regents Scholarship application.

What you'll need

• A separate scholarship application
• An invitation to compete after admission review

Who can apply

Entering freshmen and transfer applicants to UCLA selected for an invitation.

Good to know

Only the $2,000 honorarium is independent of need; any larger amount depends on financial need. Scholars must keep a 3.0 GPA and enroll in at least 12 units each quarter.
