Undergraduate Education and Scholarships
Scholarships and enrichment programs help Aggies succeed!

A UC Davis education is rich with academic rigor, experiential learning, and resources that help students graduate on time and succeed in a broad range of rewarding careers. Scholarship funds support these efforts by allowing remarkable students from all backgrounds to make the most of their education, elevating our university to even greater heights. 

Undergraduate Education

Undergraduate Education offers programs that enhance the dynamic intellectual life of our research university, from students’ first day on campus until they graduate. Our programs help students be the change-makers they want to be and support faculty in maximizing ongoing student success.

This Give Day, we feature challenges for the following Undergraduate Education initiatives:

  • Washington Program
  • Cote Family Award Support Fund 
  • ASUCD Equity And Inclusion Award Support Fund in Honor of Chancellor Gary S. May 

Undergraduate Student Scholarships

Undergraduate scholarships reduce the burden of student loan debt and provide the opportunity for our students to explore new ideas, accelerate groundbreaking discoveries and serve their communities.

This Give Day, we feature challenges for the following Undergraduate Student Scholarship initiatives:

  • CALESS Scholarship Fund

Our goal is to empower UC Davis students with every resource they need to thrive through supportive programming and by providing them the financial support they need to succeed.

Join us by investing in our students’ exceptional promise and the incredible impact they will have throughout their lives.
