UC Riverside Campus Scholarships
Scholarships are awards offered to students on the basis of
academic achievement, talent, and/or athletic ability. Scholarships are
typically "merit based" awards and do not require repayment.
UCR scholarships are awarded to entering students with a record of high academic
achievement and/or leadership skills. Many scholarships awarded to continuing
students by the UCR Financial Aid Office are based on both financial need and
academic excellence. Applicants must meet all priority deadlines for
consideration. Awards ranging from $100 to $5000 may be non-need based.
Some scholarships are awarded by community organizations, corporate donors, and
private foundations which require completion of their own application. Others
are available to the employees of certain companies and/or to the employees'
dependents. Most private scholarships are based on good grades, special talents,
leadership ability, future careers, and other criteria. Free on-line scholarship
searches are available.
Applications are
available
online in December each year and must be submitted by March 2 prior to the
award year. Awards are based on a student's academic achievement and, except for
honorary scholarships, on need. Awards generally range from $100 to $5000. All
need based awards are subject to compliance with UCR priority aid
application deadlines.
Application requirements for continuing
student UCR scholarships may vary. Most scholarship programs require
submission of an essay describing educational objectives, career goals, and
participation in extracurricular or community service activities. Award
decisions may be made by a scholarship selection committee during the summer
or fall quarter. Scholarship notifications may be included in financial aid
offers when they are finalized.
Scholarships replace loan or Federal
Work-Study whenever possible. However, state regulations may require
adjustments to Cal Grant awards for students whose total awards exceed their
Cal Grant need figure.
Other scholarships are available from
various academic departments or college offices. More information is available
from the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, The College of Humanities
and Social Sciences, and The Bourns College of Engineering. Students interested
in doing an academic quarter of coursework, research, and internships in the
UC Washington
Center Program in Washington, D.C. may apply for scholarships through the
College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Chancellor's Performance awards are
available through the departments of Dance, Art, Music, Theatre, and Creative
Writing. Please contact your major department or your college office for more
information regarding available scholarships, application procedures, deadlines,
and eligibility requirements.
