Presidential Fellowship for Experiential Learning
The University of California has devoted substantial time and resources to examining ways to expand the opportunities and support we provide to undocumented students. This program provides additional resources to help our undocumented students learn, thrive, and build a path toward their professional futures.
Beginning Spring 2024, the University of California has expanded experiential learning opportunities for non-DACA, AB 540 undocumented students enrolled in state-supported degree programs. Eligible students can receive fellowships when they enroll in credit-bearing experiential learning courses.
Experiential Learning Defined
An experiential learning course at UCLA integrates academic theory with practical application through hands-on experiences, such as internships, fieldwork, community engagement, or research projects. These courses provide students with opportunities to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and professional skills while gaining real-world knowledge and insights.
