The Ms. Liyu Lash Scholarship is a donor fund set up by Ms. Liyu Lash within the University of the West’s Golden Benefactor Awards.

It gives three US$500 awards each fall and spring semester to continuing degree-seeking students in any program at the Rosemead, California campus. The Financial Aid Committee selects on financial hardship, academic performance and character.

Benefits & funding

  • Three US$500 awards per semester, used in the semester awarded; award numbers depend on donor funds.
  • Only one Golden Benefactor award per student per semester.
  • Cannot be combined with the IBEF, President’s or Lotus scholarships, unless the committee grants a petition for exceptional need.
  • Recipients write a semester report on their academic progress, sent to the donor.

Eligibility

  • Students in any UWest undergraduate or graduate degree program.
  • At least one semester already completed in a UWest degree-seeking program.
  • Full-time: at least 12 units (undergraduate) or 9 units (graduate). This fund’s entry exempts final-semester students from the full-time rule, while the general policy excludes final-semester students.
  • Minimum GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.
