Based on inquiries by phone and email, below are the top five topics of the week. 

• I recently made changes to my registered units for summer. How can my financial aid for summer be updated with the change in units?
• Any time you enroll or drop units during the summer, you must inform us of the unit changes. Please submit a Summer Change In Aid form through your MyAwards. Please keep in mind that a change in aid request can take 7-10 business days to be processed.
• How can I apply for scholarships as a newly admitted undergraduate student?
• The UC Application served as your application for campus-based scholarships at UC Davis and merit-based scholarships were sent out alongside admission decisions. We recommend checking out our webpage for Outside Scholarships and the Cal Aggie Scholarships webpage if you would like to apply for additional opportunities.
• How much financial aid will I receive in the summer?

• You can receive a financial aid estimate by using the Summer Financial Aid Estimator!  

  The Summer Aid Estimator allows you to see an approximation of your funding options for summer. Online estimates are only available for UC Davis Summer Sessions, Special Sessions and Summer Abroad and Summer Internship Programs.  
     
  Enter any combination of units into the estimator and our system will review your financial aid information for the year and show you our closest approximation of your funding options for the summer. You may combine units between any of the sessions to total at least six (6) units for financial aid eligibility. 

• When will I receive my Summer Advantage Grant refund if I am eligible?  
• If you are enrolled in at least 10 units during Session 1, the Summer Advantage Grant will be disbursed to help pay for Session 1 fees. After fees are paid, any eligible refund amounts will be disbursed by July 18, 2025, after you confirm academic participation by July 14, 2025. 

  
  If you will complete the required 10 units during Session 2, the grant will be disbursed to help pay for Session 2 fees. Any eligible refund amounts will be disbursed on August 29, 2025, after confirming academic participation by August 25, 2025. 
   

  If you are enrolled in Special Summer Session, the grant will be disbursed to help pay for Special Session fees. Any eligible refund amounts will be disbursed on August 29, 2025, after confirming academic participation by August 25, 2025

• When will refunds for Summer Session 2 be issued?
