Non-California Resident Scholarships
Undergraduate Deans' Awards
The Undergraduate Deans' Awards range from $12,000 to $40,000, split over four years for freshmen. For transfer students, the awards range from $6,000 to $20,000 over two years. For example, if you are offered a $12,000 Deans' Award, the amount per year you are expected to receive is $3,000. If you receive a Deans' Award of $40,000, the allocation per year is $10,000. For transfer students, if you are offered the $20,000 Deans' Award, you will receive $10,000 per year, and if your award is only $6,000, then the amount per year is $3000. These awards are intended to offset non-resident tuition and will be discontinued if the student becomes a California resident.
Newly admitted non-resident students are considered for this award during the admissions cycle. Our holistic review of candidates considers academic preparation as demonstrated through the information provided on the UC application, including courses completed and in progress.
Our Deans' Award is intended to recognize students' academic and cultural contributions to our community of scholars. Awards may be combined with our highly distinctive Regents Scholarship for outstanding academic achievement.
Deans' must be accepted on your MyUCSC student portal. Awards not accepted prior to the end of your first term of attendance may be rescinded.
