Program description
"The Academic Advancement Program ( AAP ) will be awarding scholarships to AAP students for the 2026-2027 academic year. The average scholarship award ranges from $2,500 to $5,000. ELIGIBILITY All AAP students who have completed at least 12 units, have not exceed 150 units at the college or university level, and who have a minimum cumulative UCLA GPA of 2.75 or better by the end of the 2025 Fall Quarter are eligible to apply. To receive the scholarship, you must be enrolled as a full-time undergraduate during the entire 2026-2027 academic year and apply for financial aid by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA ) or the CA Dream Act Application ( CADAA ). INSTRUCTIONS Your application and all supporting materials must be submitted by 11:59PM on Friday, March 6th, 2026. No late or incomplete applications will be accepted . A complete application includes: Career Goals/Interest: Select at least one item from the list of career goals/interests on the general application. Personal Statement: Describe in 350-500 words (maximum of 4,000 characters) why you should be chosen for an AAP Scholarship and include any personal challenges, obstacles, or major event(s) in your life you’ve overcome, if any. Essay: Answer one of the two questions in a 500–600-word (maximum of 4,800 characters) essay. Failure to limit the length of your essay will result in a lower score on your application. Note: The essay question counts for over half of your final score. Be sure to proofread, use spell check, and edit your work carefully before adding your essay to the application. You can add your essay to your application at any point before the submission deadline. Remember: the application will not be considered complete until the essay is submitted. Letter of Recommendation: The letter must be from a UCLA instructor (faculty or TA) who appears as the “instructor of record” for a class on your study list (current or past)."

Where this information comes from
This page is published from University of California, Los Angeles's own public scholarship portal (ucla.academicworks.com), read and verified 2026-09-03. This is a different source from most of this site's listings, which come from IRS Form 990-PF filings — see how we source scholarships. Portals change between cycles, so always confirm current details on the source listing before applying.
Most listings on this site are compiled from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF filing — the public record where foundations that accept applications must state who to contact, how to apply, any deadlines, and any restrictions. Listings under /award/ are a second, separate source: read directly from the foundation’s own public scholarship portal, with a link to that source on every page. Filings are annual and portals change between cycles, so details can change: always confirm the current deadline and requirements with the foundation before applying. This site is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any foundation listed. Scholarship information here is free; we charge only for optional application coaching, and we never write your application for you.
