"Thank you for your kind words and for your continuous support. It really means a lot to me, especially because I know that I wouldn’t be where I am without it. Your support and that of the UFC is one of the reasons I was able to attend U.C. Davis and I will never forget that." Erika Cisneros
University Farm Circle was founded in Davis, California in 1914 by women associated with the University Farm to help the young boys at the school. Today, members do not need to be connected with the University of California at Davis to be a member. All are welcome!
We provide educational and social programs to our members and award scholarships to U.C. Davis students. University Farm Circle has over 500 members who participate in newcomer activities, programs, interest sections, and special events to raise money for our scholarship funds. Our special scholarship fund raising events, include our highly successful 2019 Holiday Home Tour and Boutique.
Founded in 1914, University Farm Circle connects the University of California at Davis campus with the surrounding communities through friendship, enrichment, and scholarships.
Friendship: Welcomes newcomers to the university campus and community.
Enrichment: Provides programs and activities to meet the needs and interests of its members.
Scholarships: Assists students through scholarships.
Last year the University Farm Circle was able to award scholarships of $4000 each to nine outstanding UC Davis students. With your help we would like to award MORE scholarship and BIGGER scholarship in the future.
Consider that the cost of attending UC Davis is now over $35,000 a year. Even with Pell Grants, student loans, family assistance, and summer jobs, covering this amount is a challenge to many students.
A$4,000 scholarship can:
Help pay for tuition
Cover lab fees
Provide necessities such as rent and food
Purchase books and technology
Give a huge self-confidence boost
Most importantly, save the student hours of minimum wage work. At $15 an hour, it would take approximately 267 hours to earn $4,000. That’s a lot of time that could be spent studying!
University Farm Circle supports students at the University Of California Davis through scholarships. In addition, the organization offers social networks through programs and events. All are welcome to join.
