Background
The Davis Chinese Association (DCA) was formed in 1965, with many new faculty and staff coming to the University of California, Davis from all over the US and abroad to settle in the very small town of Davis. The DCA became a warm and friendly group, where we could share cultures and talk in our native languages. Over the years, our organization has grown to welcome newcomers to Davis and through our activities, we’ve become more active participants in the Davis community. The scholarships honor and award Davis Senior High School seniors of Chinese descent who have demonstrated academic excellence and distinguished themselves in school and community activities. Traditionally each year in May, the DCA holds its annual Scholarship Reception to honor its scholarship recipients. Since 2005, the DCA has awarded over $50,000 to 97 remarkable graduating seniors from Davis Senior High School. When it was decided to start an endowment fund for the scholarships, Dr. Soohoo, as a kick off gift to begin the fund gave signed copies of his autobiography to those who donated. Donations can be made via Venmo to @DavisChinese-Association or through paper check (please click on the website for more info).
