Sonya "Sonny" & Adrian Harris Faculty Women's Club Legacy Scholarship Fund

The Sonya “Sonny” & Adrian Harris Faculty Women’s Club Legacy Scholarship Fund was established in January 2019 to support UCLA undergraduate and graduate scholarships to students who are either direct descendants or a spouse of a current or retired UCLA faculty or staff member.
