Every UC offers Regents to freshmen, but not all offer the scholarship to transfers. In terms of transfers, it is hard to determine the exact process as not all 4.0s with extra-curricular activities get offered it. Each campus that offers Regents to transfers has its own protocol involving finalists and winners so you need to do some research on your own by checking each campus website.

All Regents, regardless of campus, offer these core benefits:

1. Renewable for two years, assuming you maintain academic standards

2. Guaranteed housing for the duration of scholarship

3. Graduate level library privileges

4. Faculty mentor

5. Priority enrollment for classes

6. Notation on transcript of Regents Scholarship

7. Ability to join the Regents Scholarship Society on campus

8. Invitations to events slated only for Regents scholars and faculty

9. Financial need is not factored in, although the award may be higher if need is proven

10. You accept your Regents Scholarship by SIRing to the UC

11. Regents Scholarships cannot be transferred to another campus

Amounts are current based on 2019 data:

UC Berkley $2,500

UC Davis $7,500

UC Irvine $5,000

UCLA $2,000

UC Merced $7,000

UC Riverside: $5000 but amounts vary

UC San Diego $2,000

UC Santa Barbara: No Regents for Transfers

UC Santa Cruz $5,000

Notification dates also vary so again check each campus website for further details.
