Searching for a University of California-resident Scholarship?
The University of California Irvine is pleased to announce that it will provide education funds to successful applicants to cover their educational expenses under the Director’s Scholarship Program.
The Directors’ Scholarship program is one of the most prestigious scholarships UC Irvine offers to domestic, out-of-state students entering UCI. The program is renewable for one additional year beyond their initial year of tenure as long as eligibility requirements continue to be met.
The university also administers the UC Irvine Medical Center, a large teaching hospital in Orange, and its affiliated health sciences system; the University of California, Irvine, Arboretum; and a portion of the University of California Natural Reserve System. UC Irvine set up the first Earth System Science Department in the United States.
UC Irvine was one of three new UC campuses established in the 1960s to accommodate growing enrollments across the UC system. A site in Orange County was identified in 1959, and in the following year, the Irvine Company sold the University of California 1,000 acres (400 ha) of land for one dollar to establish the new campus. President Lyndon B. Johnson dedicated the campus in 1964, a fact commemorated with the delivery of a commencement speech by President Barack Obama fifty years later.
As of January 2022, there have been 8 Nobel Prize laureates, 7 Pulitzer Prize winners, 6 MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipients, 37 Guggenheim Fellows, and 1 Turing Award winner affiliated with the university as alumni, faculty, or researchers.
The UC Irvine Anteaters currently compete in the NCAA Division I as members of the Big West Conference. During the early years of the school’s existence, the teams played at the NCAA Division II level. The Anteaters have won 28 national championships in nine different team sports, 64 Anteaters have won individual national championships, and 53 Anteaters have competed in the Olympics, winning a total of 33 Olympic medals.
