Howard Strong Memorial Scholarship

The Howard Strong Memorial Scholarship was established in May 2019 by Claudia Prada ‘88 ’94 ’97 in honor of Howard Strong to support need-based scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students.It is the donor’s wish that the scholarship be awarded to students who identify as Indian American, Native American or Alaska Native. Students are not required to be from a federally recognized tribe, but should include documentation in their general application to be considered.

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.
