Chancellor's Blue and Gold Scholarship/Siebens Foundation Scholars

The Chancellor’s Blue and Gold Scholarship/Siebens Foundation Scholars was established in 2000 by the Siebens Foundation to support scholarships for Chancellor’s Blue and Gold Scholars.

The University of California Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan ensures that eligible students have sufficient grant and scholarship aid to cover tuition and student service fees for your enrollment at UCLA. Because you qualify for the University of California Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan, even if you do not see a Blue and Gold Opportunity Grant on your notification, your financial aid offer includes covers in-state tuition and fees through a combination of grants and scholarships.

Your eligibility is based on meeting the following requirements:

• You apply for financial aid annually by March 2 through FAFSA/CADAA and are a resident of California.
• Your family income is below the annual amount set by the University of California.
• You are a UCLA undergraduate with significant unmet financial need, noting awards may be smaller based on calculated financial need.
• You enroll at least half-time in each academic year term.
• You meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards, you don’t already hold a bachelor’s degree, you are not in default on any prior student loans, and you do not owe any federal student aid refunds.

Details
Your eligibility for the University of California Blue and Gold Opportunity will be evaluated annually. For an entering freshman, the plan will cover system-wide tuition and fees for four years. For an entering transfer student, the plan will provide funding for two years. The plan does not cover summer school enrollment.

The scholarship portal retains the original award offer amount as a placeholder so that, each subsequent year, you begin with the highest amount for which you may be eligible.

For the current value of your award, please refer to your latest package on the Bruin Financial Aid (BFA) portal. If your award amount has increased or decreased during the academic year, the BFA portal will reflect the current award and may provide information about the reason for the adjustment.

For an explanation of your individual award, please contact UCLA Financial Aid & Scholarships through the Contact Us page. When contacting us, please include the specific award that changed and the date of the revision.
