Financial Aid and Scholarships offers grants and loans to students in the Veterinary Medicine program. Based on eligibility, students may receive a combination of grant, scholarship, and loan that does not exceed their cost of attendance. Need is determined through filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application. We strongly recommend researching all possible funding options in order to minimize loans and maximize any available grants or scholarships by contacting the School of Veterinary Medicine.
Grants and Scholarships
UC Davis Financial Aid and Scholarships administers grants to eligible students. The School of Veterinary Medicine annually administers approximately 700 scholarships. Some scholarships are based solely on academic criteria; others are based on academic and financial criteria. More information is available from the School of Veterinary Medicine.
Loans
Loans are a form of financial aid that must be repaid. Educational loans have varying fees, interest rates, repayment terms, and/or borrower protections. Veterinary students may receive up to a maximum of $40,500 during their 1st through 3rd year and up to $47,167 during their 4th year in Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan. Students may also borrow up to the cost of attendance minus other estimated financial aid in Graduate PLUS Loan. Veterinary students may also be eligible for the Health Professional Student Loan or can pursue Private Loans.
Grants, Scholarships, and Fellowships
The School of Veterinary Medicine administers grants, scholarships, and fellowships to domestic, permanent-resident, and international students in the Master of Preventative Veterinary Medicine (MPVM) program. This type of aid does not need to be repaid and will be offered to the student, depending on need and academic excellence, by the MPVM Admissions and Student Affairs Committee.
