In the midst of a pandemic, with large group and public gatherings canceled, you would expect this to be a brief column. However, students, their families and friends still can access the vibrant arts at UC Davis.

The Cal Aggie Alumni Association is excited to introduce our 2020-2021 scholarship winners. This year we were able to award $100,000 in scholarships to 85 students. In addition to being leaders in their communities, their schools, their families, their places of employment, or thought leaders changing the world around us; these students also speak to the role of social mobility that UC Davis plays in a student’s life. Forty percent (40%) of this year’s CAAA scholarship class identify as first-generation college students and are the first in their family to go to college.
