TAP Scholarship from UCLA
I am pretty sure that those of you who are tap certified got a letter in the mail informing you of a $5000 scholarship from UCLA for incoming transfer students. The paper says that the scholarship is based on academic merit and financial aid. Does that mean they look at both or either/or? So if I didn't qualify for financial aid, am I automatically not eligible for receiving this money? Just curious because I don't want to go through the hassle of getting a recommendation and writing a mini essay if it is not applicable to me in the first place. Any thoughts?

If you didn't qualify then you probably wouldn't have gotten the application in the first place.

Is it a TAP scholarship? My college didn't have the TAP program but I still got the scholarship.

Yeah, it is specifically for transfer students who have completed the TAP program and are transferring this fall. I actually got this application from UCLA a couple weeks before I even found out I got in so it seems like anyone who applied to UCLA and indicated they were TAP certified on their application got one, regardless of their qualifications.

Does anyone know the likelihood of getting this scholarship? And how important is it to get a recommendation from someone from the school instead of say, an employer?

I don't think so. I was under the impression that those who qualified would automatically receive this award.
