Rolf Unterleitner Scholarship

Supporting students in Biological Sciences

Rolf touched the hearts and minds of thousands of people. Since 1989, Rolf has dedicated much of his time and personal commitment to the Biology Undergraduate Scholars Program (BUSP) playing an integral role in its success. He has left a lasting impact on the students he worked with and the departments and programs he helped to shape.

As a staff member in the Student Academic Success Center, Rolf’s work was an inspiration to his fellow colleagues who share his teaching philosophy and his love for learning. Rolf was committed to helping students open academic doors by developing a deeper understanding of chemistry with Rolf as their teacher. His teaching went beyond the classroom motivating students to be more than they could ever imagine.

The Rolf Unterleitner scholarship will support undergraduate students in the UC Davis Biology Undergraduate Scholars program. Recipients should meet financial need eligibility and be in good academic standing.
