“I value my UCLA experience, care deeply for the campus and those who take part in helping students make it to graduation. I give because I want to help first-generation college students accomplish their goals of attaining a higher education degree and believe that every bit helps, as it did when I was a student.”--Teresa Valenzuela ’94, UNEX ’11

Latin@ students make up 19.1% of the student body. Help us grow and support these future scholars and leaders to continue the vibrant legacy of Latin@s at UCLA.

We are very proud that UCLA Latino Alumni Association has accumulated a reasonable endowment that provides financial assistance to deserving students. This would not be possible without the generous support of past generations of Latin@ alumni. Now we ask you to give--to help us sustain and continue this legacy of supporting Latin@ at UCLA.

A recent scholar said, “my ULAA scholarship will allow me to achieve my lifelong dreams for my family and my community.” 

UCLA has been working diligently to recruit the best and brightest Latin@ students to UCLA. However we lose our Latin@ students to other institutions that are able to provide substantial financial aid packages. Help us increase the endowment so that we are able to offer competitive financial resources that eliminate financial barriers for admitted Latin@ students to choose UCLA as their dream school.
