Wallace W. Brown Veteran Scholarship
The Wallace W. Brown Veteran Scholarship, for enlisted Armed Forces veterans who served their country and received an honorable discharge and who demonstrate a strong commitment to service activities and/or the community, was established in 2009 to provide scholarships to veterans returning to school (or beginning college) after serving their country. Applicants must enroll as full-time undergraduates with a major in the UCLA College and demonstrate financial need. Preference goes to those applicants who made the greatest commitment or sacrifice during their service.
