Supporting Students Beyond the Classroom
As the home to nearly half of all undergraduate majors at UC Davis, the College of Letters and Science has a unique obligation. It is our goal to ensure that all students have access to the hands-on learning experiences that are required for a well-rounded education. This obligation expands beyond offering a rigorous and award-winning academic experience; we are committed to fostering competitive graduates by providing our students with meaningful experiential learning opportunities beyond the classroom.
When you support the Beyond the Classroom fund, you support all students within the college by creating opportunities to participate in research, internships, study abroad, mentorships, and field work.

Scholarships Support Stellar Students
Whether it’s internships, student clubs, study abroad or research, experiences outside the classroom provide lessons that prepare students for success after college. Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends, each year the College of Letters and Science provides scholarships that make a real difference in the lives of our students. Your support helps empower the next generation of leaders and helps alleviate external burdens that hinder their success.
Lara Johannson puts her French into practice
Finding the time to study abroad is difficult enough, especially for French majors like Lara Johannson ’23. She once worked as many as three jobs on top of being a full-time student. Thanks to a scholarship she received through the College of Letters and Science, she can now focus on her work with the UC Davis French Club and plans to take advantage of the French in Bordeaux Program. The incredibly generous support of our donors and friends enable students like Lara to experience a world beyond the classroom.

Diana Garcia Perez's internship pays it forward
