While UCLA provides scholarships and financial aid to students, it is essential to note that the availability of scholarships for international students, including those from India, is limited. However, external resources and international scholarship opportunities can assist Indian students in funding their studies in the United States. The university wants its applicants to be cautious when searching for scholarships and avoid any platform or applications that require payment or financial information to access or apply for scholarships.
