seismograph A seismograph, or seismometer, is an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes. Generally, it consists of a mass attached to a fixed base. During an earthquake, the base moves and the mass does not. The motion of the base with respect to the mass is commonly transformed into an electrical voltage. The electrical voltage is recorded on paper, magnetic tape, or another recording medium.
Regents Scholarship Program The Regents of the University of California established the prestigious Regents Scholarship Award in 1962 to recognize incoming undergraduates of outstanding academic achievement and promise. At UCSB, the award is coordinated by the Office of Admissions.
Presidentâs Scholarship Award Amount The Presidentâs Scholarship is a partial tuition scholarship with varying awards amounts. The Presidentâs Scholarship is a merit award and may be reduced by the amount of other merit funds received such that students do not financially benefit by receiving more merit funding in total than the University of Maryland direct costs plus a book allowance as outlined above.
