Read Alumni Association Scholarship Applications
The UC Santa Cruz Alumni Association has supported the Alumni Association Scholarship Fund since 1991 and has since distributed almost $2M through almost 1,000 scholarships to benefit current students with financial need.
Each year, volunteers read and rate student essays to support the UCSC Alumni Council AASF Committee in selecting the next group of scholarship recipients.
