Scholarships

Students in the Department of Plant and Soil Science have access to a range of scholarships on the bases of scholastic achievement, leadership, need, and area of specialization.

In addition to the many scholarships offered through the Davis College and PSS department, we maintain a running list of scholarships from external sources for which our students might be qualified. These external scholarships are not associated with the departmental scholarship application processes.
