Scholar Spotlight

Here at UCI, we are very proud of our accomplished Anteaters! Each scholarship recipient has a unique set of achievements and experiences. Get to know some of our scholars here.

  • Carol

    Recipient of the Dunnicliffe Academic Excellence, Womxn's Hub Dynamic Scholar Award, and the Civic Leader Scholarship. Carol (she/hers) graduated in June 2021 with a major in Economics and a minor in Management. She is a first-generation student and the head of her household, so she always had multiple part-time jobs. She was extremely grateful to receive the Dunnicliffe Academic Excellence, Womxn's Hub Dynamic Scholar Award, and the Civic Leader Scholarship. Even with a gap year, these scholarships helped her to stay on track, alleviate a ton of financial stress, and still graduate on time.

  • Eric

    Senior Eric Ramos has done amazing work with UCI's Beall Applied Innovation as a recipient of the Creativity & Entrepreneurship Scholarship. His team and him are creating a hand sanitizing station using UV-C technology after seeing an opening in the market. He took the good from the bad of the pandemic, and he is looking at hygeine in a new and innovative way. His scholarships funds him and his team to build a prototype to hopefully get into the WayFinder Program.
