Chernow Family Adversity Scholarship

The Chernow Family Adversity Scholarship was established in October 2018 by David S. ’79 & Libby Chernow to support UCLA undergraduate scholarships to students who are the first in their family to attend college and /or a preference for those who self-identify as an underrepresented minority.

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.
