Forensic Science

2025-26 Packaging Schedule

Financial aid offers for Forensic Science students will be available in MyAwards in August. Please note that this is an estimated packaging date.

Continuing and Professional Education

The Forensic Science program is the only UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education program that is eligible for financial aid through UC Davis Financial Aid and Scholarships.

The application process begins by filing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) by the priority filing date each year. Ensure the UC Davis School Code (001313) is listed.

If you have filed a FAFSA or CADAA, Financial Aid and Scholarships requires all students receiving external sources of funding to report these additional resources by submitting a Change-in-Aid webform through MyAwards, as adjustments to your financial aid may be necessary.

For other UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education programs, please visit the UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education Financing Your Education page.
