Carol Burnett has been brewin’ something big with the Bruins. The UCLA alum and Hollywood icon has announced two major gifts to the school:

An endowment to establish a scholarship at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, as well as a donation of the more than 140 industry awards and honors that Burnett has received over her seven-decade career.

As part of the donation, Burnett also included ephemera such as hand drawings of her in costume from “The Carol Burnett Show”, a still-boxed doll of her in the CBS variety show’s iconic Scarlett O’Hara curtain hanger costume, and other photos and memorabilia.

A rotating display of Burnett’s honors will be shown in the lobby of UCLA’s Freud Playhouse.

The timing of the donation coincides with the announcement Thursday of the Carol Burnett Endowed Undergraduate Scholarship in Music Theater.

Under the scholarship, one undergraduate student each year in the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television’s Ray Bolger Musical Theater Program will receive what’s described as a “substantial award” to help cover the cost of tuition and fees.

“I am so pleased that, with this endowment of the Carol Burnett Scholarship to the UCLA School of Theater, Film & Television, students will be given an opportunity akin to what UCLA gave me when I enrolled fresh out of high school,” Burnett said in a statement.

“I found my true passion at UCLA, and in this scholarship lies the hope that it will do the same for many others for many years to come.”
