Throughout their generosity, the University of California- San Diego offers numerous scholarships to students. Scholarships are gift aid, money you do not have to repay. Scholarships are awarded for either academic merit only, or merit and additional criteria such as major of interest, leadership, or financial need. First-Year merit scholarships are based solely on academic achievement as reflected in your UC admissions application, and first-year restricted scholarships are awarded on academic merit plus additional criteria such as demonstrated financial need, field of interest, or leadership.
The University of California-San Diego offers scholarships to incoming freshmen. Eligibility is limited to United States citizens, permanent residents, or California Dream Act students. UC San Diego will notify you of any scholarship awards by March 30. The Ellen and Roger Revelle Scholarship is awarded based on merit. The total number of awards will vary.
