TO: The Representative Assembly of the Davis Division of the Academic Senate

The Committee met on November 13, 2002, during the Fall Quarter to organize for the year. At this meeting, committee members reviewed the 2001-2002 Annual Report and the calendar for 2002-2003. Bill McCarthy presented a topic carry forwarded from the previous year specific to the correlation between reading scores and GPAs. After review of the data, the Committee members affirmed the valuable part reading applications plays in the selection process. A Winter Quarter meeting was held on January 15, 2003, to review the reading procedures for application evaluation and to complete the identification of members to participate on special events and the University Medallist Sub-Committee. The Committee will meet again during Spring Quarter to review the year’s activities and make recommendations for any needed changes. Members individually evaluating scholarship candidates’ applications carry out most of the Committee’s work.

The attached table outlines the distribution of recipients and funds allocated to undergraduate scholarships for the 2002-2003 academic year.

For the 2003-2004 award cycle, 31,178 students applied for scholarships: 802 continuing UCD students, 4,583 transfers, and 25,793 high school seniors. The Committee subjectively evaluated all complete continuing (659), transfer (191), and EOP (335) applicants. High school applicants were evaluated on the basis of their grades and test scores alone.

There were no additional policy issues of significance addressed by the Committee during the year.
