Craig M. Desoer Endowed Scholarship Fund

The Craig M. Desoer Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in August 2021 to support undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need. It is the donor’s hope that it support students who have experienced suffering or discrimination due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.

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.
