Several hundred scholarships are available to undergraduate students at UC Davis.

Merit is the primary basis for awarding scholarships, but other criteria also can apply. Some scholarships are designated for students within a specific major or college. Eligibility for other scholarships may be defined by participation in extracurricular activities; career interests; geographic origin; high school or community college attended; parentage; perseverance; or other conditions or characteristics.
