Michael and Elaine Pines Family Scholarship

The Michael and Elaine Pines Family Scholarship was established in 2021 to support undergraduate scholarships. It is the donors’ wish to support undergraduate students who are underrepresented in engineering, California residents, and who have demonstrated financial need. The recipient can be studying any major at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering.

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.
