Additional scholarship opportunities available outside of UCLA can be found at the UCLA Center for Scholarships & Scholar Enrichment and we offer more scholarship search engines on our website.

If you receive a scholarship from an awarding agency/donor outside UCLA, please follow these steps to prevent delays in posting these awards to your BruinBill:

1. Request that outside scholarship checks are made payable to UC Regents or UCLA
2. Give the awarding agency your 9 digit UCLA identification number (UID) and ask them to include it with your award (letter and check, when possible)
3. Have the awarding agency include a letter explaining the award terms when the scholarship check is sent to UCLA
4. Make sure to report any outside scholarships on your Financial Aid Notification (FAN) or contact the Financial Aid and Scholarships office to report the award via MyUCLA
   

Please mail scholarship checks to:

Payment Solutions & Compliance Office
University of California Los Angeles
Box 957089, 1125 Murphy Hall
405 Hilgard Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90095-7089

Processing generally takes 5-7 business days, but can take longer during peak processing season of April- September. The earlier UCLA receives a check, the more likely it can be processed without delays. However, if the check from an outside awarding agency is not received in time to be disbursed with your other financial aid, please be prepared to pay your BruinBill, and then be reimbursed when the funds arrive. We recommend you sign up for BruinDirect and/or Convera, for any electronic transfer of refunds.
