Don't Forget to Apply for Scholarships

When you apply for admission, you are also applying for scholarships. Be sure to read all instructions pertaining to scholarships when completing the application, paying particular attention to the restricted scholarship eligibility codes.

Freshmen applicants:

A 3.25 GPA is required, but no additional documentation should be submitted.

Transfer applicants:
For UC Davis campus-based scholarships, a letter of recommendation is suggested, not required, and a 3.25 college GPA is needed. Transfer applicants who wish to be considered for the Regents Scholarship must have a minimum 3.80 college GPA and are required to submit a letter of recommendation by the December 2 deadline. All transfer students who submit a letter of recommendation by the deadline will have their application packets holistically read by the campus scholarship committee, which may result in a more favorable review. Please review the "Prospective Students, Transfer Applicants" section of the Financial Aid Web site for more information. The letter of recommendation request form for transfer applicants will be available until December.

All applicants:
We encourage you to consider applying for a UC Davis Cal Aggie Alumni Association (CAAA) Leadership Scholarship, which requires a separate scholarship application and a short essay, due February 1. Visit the Cal Aggie Alumni Association for eligibility criteria and application instructions.
