California Math and Science Teacher Program
CMST is the California Math and Science Teacher program (formerly the Community Teaching Fellowship in Math and Science -- CTFMS), a University of California public service program. CMST was designed to provide undergraduate students with experiences in middle and high school mathematics and science classrooms. Selected mathematics and science students will observe and participate in secondary school classrooms on a weekly basis, receive a stipend, and take a set of required courses at UC Santa Cruz.

Golden Key International Honour Society
In February 2009, UC Santa Cruz became host to the 366th charter of Golden Key International Honour Society, with the induction of 182 members. The society, founded in 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia, is a global nonprofit organization that provides academic recognition to high-performing students in the top 15 percent of their class, as well as leadership opportunities, community service, career networking, and scholarships.
Membership is by invitation only to students in all fields of study. UC Santa Cruz is the seventh campus in the UC system to charter Golden Key.

NSF Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program (SURF)
As an NSF "SURF" Fellow, you will join a UCSC research team and will take part in a research effort under close faculty supervision. The first step will be to formulate the research problem, then learn the necessary techniques or strategies to vigorously pursue the problem during the summer's work. Ideally, significant results will be obtained that could be included in a research publication. We believe that students who participate in this program will mature considerably in their scientific outlook. Fellowships of $3,750.00 plus on-campus housing will be awarded.

Regents Scholarships
Regents Scholarships are awarded to undergraduates at the University of California in recognition of outstanding academic achievement. Recipients who do not demonstrate financial need receive a renewable honorarium, which was $6,000 in 2006-07. Regents Scholars who have financial need typically receive a stipend that covers their demonstrated in-state financial need, and if these students are from out of the state, they can receive loans and work-study in addition to the scholarship to help cover the non-resident tuition portion of their budget. The Regents Scholarship is renewable for four years for freshman recipients and for two years for juniors.
