A message from ufc president jennifer grossfeld

Welcome to a new UFC year! We are excited to be offering something for everyone again this year. With over 80 active interest sections and many planned and interesting programs, we know that you will be able to discover something to entertain, interest, and engage you. You’ll find information here on this website about our innovative season of speakers, classes, tours, and tastings for both newcomers and general membership. (Continued)



Welcome!

THEN: University Farm Circle was founded in 1914 to bring together the women associated with the University Farm—especially the female staff and faculty wives—to help the young boys at the school.

NOW: You do not need to be associated with the University to be a member. All are welcome!

If you are new to the community or to UFC, we invite you to join any of our Newcomers activities to get acquainted with our area and to meet other women.

For more information, email info@ufcdavis.org.

What Can a $4,000 Scholarship Do?

  • Help pay for tuition

  • Pay lab fees

  • Provide necessities such as rent and food

  • Purchase books and technology

  • Provide a huge boost in self-confidence, which helps the student persevere on their path of achievement

  • Most importantly, save the student hours of work. At $15.00 per hour, it would take approximately 267 hours to earn $4,000. That’s a lot of time that could be spent studying! 

Thanks to generous donations from members and others, UFC was able to give 8 talented UC Davis students scholarships totaling $38,500 in 2024. In addition, we will be awarding $2,000 scholarships to two Yolo County graduates entering UC Davis.
