<p>any idea of how and when recipients will be notified?</p>

22

<p>Not sure how theyā€™ll contact candidates, but based on nose2Dgrindā€™s latest post Iā€™m hoping weā€™ll hear something maybe the first week of April.</p>

23

<p>I got a call yesterday regarding interview in April !</p>

24

<p>Congrats, Seemas! Did they volunteer any details re: nos./process/timing? Thanks!</p>

25

<p>so based on what nose2dgrind said, is the UCLA alumni scholarship invitation criteria somewhat similar to UCBā€™s??? I got the UCB invitation but not UCLA, </p>

26

<p>Looks like the first round of interviews have to be done in less than a week so most who are to be invited should have been contacted by e-mail or phone call now (4/6). </p>

My daughter received the alumni scholarship invitation and assumed it was spam email until i asked her if she got any new college admissions emails and she said yeah ucla and ucb sent her some marketing emails and i asked her to forward them to me. thank god for CC - we had no clue about the significance of these and she would have not even realized she should complete the applications.

can anyone shed some light on how these work for OOS kids?

28

Anyone?

@khanam, what do you want to know? She fills them out, does the essays and waits. Sorry, I donā€™t mean to sound rude

30

@Mysonsdad I mean is there a different process for OOS kids? Specifically curious about interviews. How would those happen for OOS kids?

31

@khanam Although I am not sure, but I donā€™t think they are doing interviews for alumni scholarships. At least we didnā€™t get any such interview notice. We are in CA.

Do the people reading the scholarship application see our original UC application? Iā€™m asking because I want to reuse one of my essays from my UC app and it would be awkward if the reader saw it twice.

33

I am wondering the same thing. Does anyone know?

34

Is a FAFSA required for UCLA/UCB Alumni scholarships? We are not eligible for need based aid and would not otherwise file it. Also, does anyone know if the applications required LORs from teachers or others?

35

The UCLA Alumni Scholarship does require one recommendation letter. Not sure about UCB.

Hi, I saw you previously posted about the UCLA alumni scholarship and I had a few questions. I was initially invited to apply January 12. Then January 16th I had my UCLA audition for theater. Then I was invited all over again Feb.10 and was given a reminder Feb.19. My grades are terrible. I barely had a 3.0 to apply and my SAT isnā€™t any better. Was I invited to apply for talent reasons? But I was given the invite before I even auditioned and showed my talentsā€¦ anyways hopefully you can help my confusion.

So D applied to UCLA and UCB for alumni scholarship. She submitted UCLA last week and application says submitted. She then received reminder to apply a couple of days ago. She just submitted UCB and received confirmation of receipt from UCB within seconds. Does anyone know if UCLA sends confirmation that they received app? Thx

38

@sjftlg My D did not receive confirmation after she submitted her UCLA application.

39

@10s4life Thank you for information. She did not receive a confirmation, but I just logged into her account and it says that the application was submitted and it has a correct date stamp.

Has anyone else been receiving a ton of reminder emails to apply to the UCLA Alumni Scholarship? I think they even had an email in there where they corrected a phone number haha
