John Ringlbauer UCLA Veterans Scholarship

For enlisted Armed Forces veterans who served their country and received an honorable discharge and who demonstrate a strong commitment to service activities and/or the community, the John Ringlbauer UCLA Veterans Scholarship was established in 2009 to provide scholarships to veterans returning to school (or beginning college) after serving their country. Applicants must enroll as full-time undergraduates with a major in the UCLA College and demonstrate financial need. Preference goes to those applicants who made the greatest commitment or sacrifice during their service.
