UCI Scholarships on ScholarshipUniverse


UCI Scholarships is now using ScholarshipUniverse for students to apply and match to campuswide and external scholarships. Now, with ScholarshipUniverse’s matching tool, students will no longer have to search through each scholarship to see which ones they qualify for. External scholarships are vetted through ScholarshipUniverse, so students can rest assured that the external scholarships they are applying for are safe and trustworthy. Below are some quick steps to get started:

UCI Distinguished Scholarships Category


The Distinguished Scholarship category does not require any scholarship application.

No additional materials are required nor considered in the selection process for these scholarships. To be considered for these three scholarships, you must apply for fall admission by November 30.

Scholarship Writing Tips


Writing a good scholarship answer:

  • Respond to the question asked.
  • Each question on the scholarship application is designed to provide insight regarding one or more of the scholarships offered by our office.
  • Go into depth and detail regarding your experiences and involvements.
  • Discuss activities, what do they mean to you, and what impact have they had on your life.
  • Restrict storytelling and extraneous descriptions unless the question asks for it.
