UCLA Sent Me This Letter

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

<p>I got a letter in the mail for UCLA office of financial aid. Letter asked that I apply for the Jackie Robinson Scholarship. I asked my friends and they didn’t get any letters from UCLA nor a request to apply for the scholarship.</p>

<p>I am under the assumption that this letter was just a reminder to apply for scholarships or does it have bigger implications that I am not aware of?</p>
