NEW APPLICATION PROCESS
- The Leve Center has adopted UCLA’s scholarship portal to manage its grants and scholarships so that it aligns with the university’s scholarship application process.
- Please note that the initial process of creating a profile (general application) is lengthy. Please set aside 30-60 minutes to complete it. Having said that, answers can be brief in the general application as the selection committee will only be looking at information provided in the specific applications.
- By creating this profile, you will be able to see all Leve Center scholarships and other opportunities across campus at ucla.academicworks.com
