Scholarships

Each year, the Sacramento Area UCLA Alumni Club, in conjunction with the UCLA Alumni Association, gives away scholarship monies to deserving young people in the greater Sacramento area. This money is raised primarily through two means. The first is through our Annual Golf Tournament; the second is through gracious donations from members and friends of the Club.

These scholarships are awarded through the UCLA Alumni Scholarship programs.
