Chancellor's Service Award

Students in commencement attire can be seen throwing their graduation caps into the air in front of a UCLA campus building.

The Chancellor's Service Award is an award honoring graduating students (graduate and undergraduate), who have made significant contributions to UCLA and/or the surrounding Los Angeles community through a sustained record of outstanding service. The recipients of this award are selected by a panel of UCLA staff and faculty members and recipients are distinguished by the blue and gold fourragère, which is worn during their Commencement ceremony. The recipients of this award will also be honored by having their names listed in a special section of the Commencement program. The Chancellor's Service Award application for the 2022-2023 academic year is now closed. For any questions, please reach out to volunteer@saonet.ucla.edu.
