About the Scholarship

The Regents Scholarship is UC Davis's most prominent campus award, paying $7,500 a year for four years to entering first-year students and two years to those entering as juniors, with an extra stipend where there is demonstrated financial need.

Entering students do not apply separately: the university application for admission and scholarships is the application, and recipients hear at admission.

One caveat matters here. The sentence confirming international eligibility comes from the financial aid office's statement about its scholarships as a class, not from the Regents page itself, and the fuller programme terms sit behind a university login we could not read. The award page imposes no citizenship condition.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

$7,500 an academic year, which the university says may be accompanied by a stipend for those with demonstrated financial need. Four years for entering first-year students, two years for those entering in the third year.

Eligibility

A cumulative grade average of at least 3.25, maintained along with good academic standing to renew. Selection is on academic excellence and future promise rather than need; the additional stipend is need-based.

Eligible Countries

The financial aid office states that all undergraduates, national, international, undocumented and AB540, are eligible for its scholarships with a cumulative grade average of at least 3.25. That statement covers the campus scholarship programme as a whole rather than naming this award.

All countries

How to Apply

For entering students the university application for admission and scholarships serves as the application, and the award is announced at admission. Students already enrolled file the separate undergraduate scholarship application, which opens on 1 October.
