<p>Hey guys. Does anyone know when we get the applications for the scholarship? On the UCLAlumni site it says we get them after we enroll but I was just wondering how long we have to wait. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I was just wondering the same thing! What state are you from by the way? I'm from MA.</p>
<p>Anyone? I'm from NYC btw.</p>
<p>I just got my letter in the mail today...so you should be getting yours soon if you haven't already gotten it. ;) </p>
<p>The bad thing is that it says that interviews are in June and if you are unable to go the interview, you are considered ineligible. I don't know if I can make it. :(</p>
<p>Do you think it's worth the effort? To write 3 essays AND fly your self to california? Hmmm...i don't know.</p>
<p>what's the benefits of the scholarship? is it similar to the Freshman Alumni Scholarship for in-state students? if it is, i'd recommend doing it; it has good perks besides just money.</p>
<p>hmm...it doesn't really talk about other perks. It's just $4,000 paid over 4 years? 3 essays, 2 recs + interview. What are the benefits of the in-state one?</p>
<p>I just reread my application again and it seems as if the interviews would be hosted in my state (boston?)...not california. Is that how it works?</p>
<p>it sounds very familiar to the in-state alumni scholarship. besides $4000, they will kick in grants for some of your loans. you also get priority registration, free photocopying, mixers with alumni and even a personal alumni mentor in your major/field, and more. those are the benefits of the in-state version... looking at your description of the application requirements and the award, they seem very similar. and i do believe interviews are hosted in your local area, but i'm not 100% sure.</p>
