2021 Dean's Scholarship Awardees

Congratulations to the 2021 Dean’s Scholarship awardees!

A very special thank you to the Giving Day donors who made these scholarship funds possible. As the leading campus in the nation providing access to all qualified students, no matter what their background, our students rely on the generous support of donors to make their educational and artistic aspirations come alive.  

The Dean’s Scholarship Fund has a direct impact on the student experience at CTSA. These mini-scholarships assist with the smaller—and often unsung—costs of an arts education at UCI, which include:

  • Laboratory fees for studio classes
  • Required private vocal and instrumental music instruction
  • Textbooks for arts and general education classes
  • Basic needs like groceries, rent, or personal necessities, which are crucial for studying and performing
  • Materials and equipment for required course projects and independent work
