Scholarship Recipients

Students who have been selected as scholarship recipients must complete the following requirements in order to receive scholarship funds. You can find this information on the Complete Scholarship Guidelines and Application page.

First Year Recipient Requirements

  • By May 1st:
    • Notify the Foundation of admittance to a University of California campus.
  • By the end of May: 
    • The student will add the Foundation contact as a third party authorized user/delegate via their online portal system in order to have access to financial aid information, transcript/grades, and billing statements.
      • You can find more information on your school’s third-party authorization process here.
  • By end of June:
  • By July 1st:  
    • Students must submit their financial aid package from the University of California school of their choice. Different campuses vary in the timing of issuance; however, recipients should provide their financial letter as soon as they receive it.
  • Upon Fall enrollment:
    • Immediately upon enrollment in their first term at a UC campus, the student must send an official Enrollment Verification Letter from the registrar’s office confirming enrollment, to the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation. These can be obtained from the UC campus registrar’s office or from your university’s online system (depending on the school)
      • Note: Be sure to have your UC send the enrollment verification form directly to the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation, so that the fee is waived. If you are asked to pay a fee, please consult your Office of the Registrar. This form may take 3-5 business days to process. Please let the Foundation know when you have sent this form, so we are aware that it is on its way.
      • Note: students should request this letter once they are fully enrolled in classes.
  • At the end of each term:
    • The student will complete and submit the Quarter/Semester Update to the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation by the deadline listed on our Timeline. The student will submit the Quarter/Semester Update and attachments to the Foundation by email.
      • If a student’s GPA for a given term falls below a 3.0, they must submit a performance plan in addition to the Quarter/Semester Update.
      • The Foundation asks students to submit a performance plan because we have found that it helps students create an action plan with concrete steps to reach academic success, such as attending office hours or tutoring.

  • By July 1st:
