Renewability

The rewards are renewable over four academic semesters (equivalent to the two-years, generally required for community college transfer students to complete their bachelor’s degree at UC). Scholarship recipients must be enrolled full-time at UC, make satisfactory academic progress and earn at least a 3.2 GPA.

Qualifications

To qualify, community college students need to have completed their associate degree within two years of their planned enrollment at UC or be working to complete it by fall semester. They must also be transferring directly from a degree-granting community college to a UC non-distance learning bachelor's degree program for fall enrollment.

No separate scholarship application: To be considered for the scholarships, community college transfer students must have their application for admission and transcript information submitted to UC by July 1. Qualified transfer students will be offered the scholarships based on evaluation of their application for admission to UC.
