UCLA Pilipino Alumni Association Lovell Sevilla Scholarship Program
The UCLA Pilipino Alumni Association Lovell Sevilla Scholarship Program established the 2020-2021 “Bruin Community is in the Heart” scholarship in honor of Dr. Dawn Mabalon in August 2020.
The Pilipino Alumni Association (PAA) has seen the remarkable efforts of current UCLA students creating a sense of community amidst the remote collegiate life. Not only do they contribute to the campus, but are doing so in the local and national Pilipino community. PAA would like to acknowledge these efforts, especially given that many of these students make sacrifices of their time and finances to serve as community leaders through a scholarship award.
