Teichert Foundation Scholarship Award

This scholarship was initiated under the campus-wide campaign: STUDENTS FIRST, which was conducted through the UC Davis Foundation and their commitment to all members of the university community in support of a quality public education throughout California. The awards have been established to support civil engineering students during their junior year. This award is to recognize previous academic achievements while at the same time providing financial support to those students who must request financial aid to cover much of their college. The award is based on the academic achievements and financial needs of those students who must seek employment to help cover the cost of their education.

Robert Wiley Ross

Given annually to an outstanding undergraduate or graduate civil engineering student in honor of the memory of Robert Wiley Ross and his wife. This scholarship has been established in memory of Robert Wiley Ross. Robert (B.S. Civil Engineering 1982) and his wife, Greta Breedlove Ross, were killed in a tragic accident a few months after their wedding in 1985. They had met as UCD students through the Cal Aggie Square Dance Club. At the time of their death, Robert was completing work on his master’s degree in civil engineering, and Greta was completing her Baccalaureate Degree in Animal Science. This scholarship was created by his parents to be given to a student majoring in Civil Engineering (or if applicable to a graduate student) demonstrating academic achievements reflected by their GPA and participation in UCD-sponsored engineering or business-related extra-curricular activities (e.g., students active in ASCE and/or who has passed the EIT exam). Second consideration would be financial need. Award is to be given to a student entering the senior year, or before completion of requirements for a graduate degree.
