Robert and Jane Bessin Centennial Scholars Undergraduate Scholarship

The Robert and Jane Bessin Centennial Scholars Undergraduate Scholarship was established in 2017 to support undergraduate scholarships for undocumented students under current law. In the event that the designated group can no longer be supported, it is the donors’ preference that the scholarship be used to support students who are from underrepresented groups without consideration of race, sex or ethnicity.

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.
