Chancellor's Scholarship

<p>Does UCLA also offer Chancellor's Scholarship? Or just Regents?</p>

<p>I got something in the mail from University of California, Riverside (UCR) and it said that I was selected to receive the Chancellor's Scholarship, which is an honorium that pays 75 percent of all in-state fees.</p>

<p>If you applied to UCR, as well as UCLA, look out for that.</p>

<p>I feel bad for you and the pathetic zero responses...I have nothing useful to offer, just a vapid, self-serving response. ;)</p>

<p>Meh, it's fine.</p>

<p>I'll live.</p>

<p>Well for other UC's don't they combine Chancellor's and Regents? UCLA only labels it Regents (never heard it used w/ Chancellors) but if you read through the awards section of the UC handbook, for the UCs that award the Chancellor's scholarship, it's written in conjuction with the Regents so in the end its just at its core a Regent's scholarship.</p>

<p>eiffelguy87, good job. I got something like that from UCR too. although it was the regent's one. are there anymore levels of compeition? or are we all done and have already been awarded the scholarship?</p>

<p>I'm not sure about Regent's for UCR.</p>

<p>For the Chancellor's, they read my app and selected me; no more paperwork, no more essays, etc. I just need to enroll.</p>

<p>But UCR was my safety; now it's not only my academic safety, but financial safety. They pay $4500 this year; since I'm nearby, I don't need housing.</p>

<p>Hmm...so there is a difference between the Chancellors and the Regents? Is the selectivity the same? So does the Chancellors generally offer more money than the Regents? The award part of the UC handbook doesn't make any distinction between the Chancellor's and the Regent's scholarship. Also are the only UCs that you need to apply for them UCLA and Cal? I know UCI and UCSD offers them without any additional information required outside of the general UC application but I didn't apply to UCR last year.</p>

<p>how does UCR compare with other UC schools?</p>

<p>It's the bastard child of the UC, re-welcomed into the family since the opening of UC Merced. </p>

<p>UCR it's a good school though; not a top 25 or top 50, but it's a nice place to be if you didn't do so well in HS and want to start fresh. Not to say that UCR doesn't have valedictorians or salutatorians.</p>

<p>Ok, I just wasn't sure. I mean, this UC offering a out of state guy with mediocre SATs got me thinking. Thanks for the info. What is it's strongest major?</p>

<p>yeah i got that too</p>

<p>does anyone know exactly what it was based on? like just sats or gpa or essays? etc etc</p>

<p>and how is their poli sci program?</p>

<p>is anyone going to the celebration dinner thing on the 26th?</p>

<p>I'm not. I live 2000+ miles away and do not have time to get a ticket. We don't even need to RSVP? Theregicider, where do you live?</p>

<p>i live in sacramento, so i think i am going down to visit the school and such. have you found out much about the scholarship? i didnt even know it existed</p>

<p>Theregider: I wanted to go to the scholarship brunch but I'll be away at an admitted students Open House in D.C. for Georgetown University.</p>

<p>It's selected by the Chancellor's office looking at your UC application. It's not offered for out-of-state, I believe.</p>

<p>I'm from NH and I was awarded the Chancellor's Scholarship for UCR. I won't be going to the scholarship celebration, however because I live 3000 miles from the school and I will be going to a medical school interview the next Monday so it doesn't make sense for me to visit two different places in three days.</p>

<p>I live out of state. so does jessetfan.</p>

<p>awesome</p>

<p>do you guys plan on going to riverside? id honestly never given it much thought before i got the scholarship</p>

<p>whats your guys addresses?</p>

<p>I live in the Inland Empire, near Riverside. It's not LA, but the local university village is pretty decent. I have many friends there and they enjoy themselves. It's a more relaxed atmosphere and all in all, it's a good school.</p>

<p>That's for the correction about the out-of-state thing.</p>

<p>ok thanks</p>

<p>you gonna go to riverside? </p>

<p>whats your email</p>

<p>No. Not going to UCR. I have to wait for my decisions from Stanford and UCLA, and my financial aid awards from Georgetown. UCR is my safety.</p>
