New Regents Scholars receive an honorarium award of $7,500, disbursed over three quarters. Scholars with demonstrated financial need may receive an additional stipend. The scholarship spans twelve quarters of undergraduate study for freshman recipients.
Deadline

What you'll need
  • No separate application: you are considered when you apply for admission
Who can apply
Students entering UC Davis as freshmen (junior transfers and continuing students entering junior year are also eligible). Selection is based on academic achievements and personal accomplishments rather than financial need.
Good to know
