UC Davis is one of only a few UC campuses where scholarship applications are read by committees comprised of faculty, staff, and students to determine a student's eligibility for scholarships. This personalized approach can take into consideration a variety of factors that are not necessarily reflected in a Grade Point Average or SAT score.

Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Honors and Prizes (CUSHP)

• This committee, which defines general scholarship eligibility for UC Davis, reviews, evaluates, and scores all eligible scholarship applications from entering first-year and transfer students, as well as those from continuing students.
• Each scholarship application is read and scored by two CUSHP members. The overall scholarship score, which is a factor of the two reading scores and the student’s GPA, is what determines the amount of scholarship funding for which the student may be eligible.
