UC Davis Chancellor’s Achievement Awards

To date the Chancellor’s Achievement Awards have provided scholarships to hundreds of students at UC Davis. 

All award recipients are hard-working students who have been nominated by teachers and other members of the campus community for their academic achievements, community works, and dedication often during the first year of their journey at UC Davis. 

These scholarships are often given to students who are the first members of their family to attend college. Each year the Awards are given to between five and eight students from all walks of life. 

Like the Chancellor’s Fellows, listed below, the funding for the Chancellor’s Achievement Awards is supplied by gifts to the UC Davis Annual Fund and allotted to worthy causes at the discretion of the Chancellor.  

UC Davis Chancellor’s Fellows Awards

The Chancellor’s Fellows Program honors outstanding faculty members early in their careers. Honorees each receive a one-time award of $25,000 to be used for research, teaching or service activities.
