Q. How will my scholarship monies be applied?

A. In late September all monies from your award will be applied to your "my awards" on your myucdavis account. You simply need to accept the awards and they will be applied to your overall tuition and registration fees. This amount cannot be deducted from your account for books or other items. Your overall amount will be divided between your first three quarters. For example if you received $1,000, you'd receive $333 for two quarters and $334 in your third quarter.
