There are currently 19 students from the Inland Empire who receive alumni scholarships. We are hoping to grow that to 100 students. Meet one of our current scholars:
Zena Taraporewalla (Third Year, Psychobiology – Rancho Cucamonga)
"Applying for the UCLA Alumni Scholarship turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. Now, as a third year student from the Inland Empire majoring in Psychobiology, I can truly realize the impact the Alumni Scholars Club had on me by allowing me to grow socially and academically while developing new friendships and connecting with many Bruins, both current students as well as alumni. Serving on various committees such as Internal Campus Volunteers and Scholar Relations also allowed me to give back to the club that gave so much to me. For that, I would like to thank the donors of my scholarship as well as the other scholarships."

Karen Swanson (Class of ’77 –UCLA Alumni Inland Empire Network President and UCLA Alumni Scholarship Committee Chair, Eastvale, CA)
"Why do I give to UCLA Scholarships? That's an easy question. I love love love my school. It is an easy way to give back and yet make a big impact. I feel so fortunate to have been able to attend UCLA that I want to help those students who have demonstrated academic leadership and have had a positive effect in their community. It's helping to make dreams come true and come to UCLA!"
Steve and Linda Larson – UCLA Parents - Beaumont, CA
"We were so grateful when our daughter received a scholarship from the I.E. Scholarship Fund!
She is pursuing her dreams at the school of her dreams! Each donation adds up. In the end, giving back will help these amazing kids go out into our world making it a better place for all of us. They are our future, this is why we give.
Thank you for helping us help our daughter."
Rusty Bailey - Luskin School of Public Affairs ’99 – Mayor of Riverside
“I give to UCLA because it gave to me. Its impact on both my personal and professional life deserves a return from me on the investment in education that UCLA provided.”
