Current and Continuing Undergraduates

All continuing undergraduates, including international, national, AB540, and undocumented students are welcome to apply each academic year. A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) is not required to be considered for scholarships. To be eligible, you need to:

  • Have a cumulative UC Davis 3.25 GPA by the end of the fall quarter.
  • Submit one letter of recommendation from a professor, counselor, teacher, or community member who can speak highly of you.
  • Plan to enroll for at least two quarters in the next academic year.

Each year, students have until mid-January to submit their completed application online. The application for the 2025-26 academic year is now closed.
