The UCLA Kimura Airfare Scholarship was established in 2019 by donation from Stephanie and Mark Kimura. This scholarship supports first-generation UCLA students who partake in the UC Education Abroad Program (UCEAP) to study abroad in a university or college setting (rather than travel or internship programs). Preference shall be given to students who can demonstrate financial need and who will study abroad for three to twelve months.
