Yang Scholarships will be awarded to students admitted to UCLA for the 2020–2021 academic year across the divisions of the College of Letters and Science and professional schools for the purpose of recruiting and retaining highly promising future scholars from Taiwan high schools and universities.

The university has 121 graduate degree programs and its graduates have become leading scholars and professionals around the world. Our campus attracts students from across the globe, with international students making up more than 16% of the incoming graduate student body. The university’s location in Los Angeles places it in one of the world’s most dynamic and diverse cities.
