Georgia Oleson-Dankanyin Memorial Scholarship

The Georgia Oleson-Dankanyin Memorial Scholarship was established in 1993 by M. A. Oleson-Wiles, the Johnson’s Wax Fund, and Robert Dankanyin, to provide support to underrepresented minority students, with financial need and academic potential. The donor has also requested that at least one of the recipients be female. The scholarship is renewable for four years, as long as the recipient remains eligible.

Note: UCLA administers all identity-conscious financial aid and scholarships in compliance with federal, state, and university regulations by using a “pool and match” application process for unrestricted awards, identity-conscious awards, and other restricted awards (major, need, community service, etc.). Identity-conscious awards may include a preference for a student’s race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, color, ethnicity, or national origin. The pooled application process allows students to submit a single “general” application to be considered for multiple scholarships, and are used in determining the source of a recipient’s aid, but NOT their eligibility, receipt, or amount of financial aid.
