"I'm incredibly grateful for the scholarship University Farm Circle has granted me. Not only does it take some of the financial burden of school off of my shoulders; it's also an incredible validating source of recognition. Having my hard work acknowledged by such a lovely organization has made me feel seen and supported, which is more impactful than I can say." - Madison Seeman
"Because of UFC, I was able to spend my free weekends volunteering... in a more meaningful and consistent way. In prior years, I was spending every day I had available working at a restaurant to make those ends meet. I am thrilled to say this opportunity... turned into a formal offer of full time employment beginning as soon as I graduate. They gave me room to go to part-time once law school starts. If I didn't have that breathing room to utilize my free time for something other than simply surviving, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thanks to UFC, I get to graduate without the dread of not knowing what comes next. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." - Kristine David
"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
"This helped me afford tuition and living expenses which made it possible for me to graduate. Without scholarships such as this one I would not have been able to attend college. Now I am in my masters in Counseling Education... and plan to work with our youth to provide guidance as they endeavor their educational journey. Thank you for making this possible." - Diana Garcia Perez
"Working a part-time job along with being a full-time student has been both mentally and physically taxing, so this scholarship took a huge load of stress off my shoulders and I am extremely grateful for all the donors who make the lives of students like me a lot easier. I am ever grateful and appreciative of the value of the gift of blessings that come my way and I strive to give back to society in any small way I can through my education and career." - Kiki Raj
University Farm Circle was founded in Davis, California in 1914 by women associated with the Davis campus, which at the time was called the University Farm. Today, members do not need to be connected with the University of California at Davis, but they are supportive of our mission to assist UC Davis students. All are welcome!
We provide educational and social programs to our members and award scholarships to worthy UC Davis students. We have been providing scholarships since 1937. University Farm Circle has over 600 members who participate in newcomer activities, programs, interest sections, and special events to raise money for our scholarship funds.
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.
This year the University Farm Circle awarded scholarships to 8 UC Davis students and 2 Yolo County high school students entering the University in the fall.
Consider that the cost of attending UC Davis is now over $42,000 a year. Even with Pell Grants, student loans, family assistance, and summer jobs, covering this amount is a challenge to many students.
Our recipients tell us that these scholarships 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 $16.50 an hour, it would take 254 hours to earn what a $4,200.00 scholarship can provide. 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.
