Financial Aid Information

Students who are interested in receiving financial aid must indicate this on their UCCS application.

If you are already receiving financial aid at your home campus, you will need to update your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Dream Act Application (CADAA) to include the UC Davis school code 001313. For those who have not yet filed a FAFSA or CADAA, learn more about filing an application.

After UC Davis has received and processed your FAFSA or CADAA, UC Davis Financial Aid and Scholarships will package your aid and notify you via email when it is ready. Aid notification typically occurs four weeks prior to the start of the program. Once notified, you can view and accept your aid through MyAwards.

Financial aid will be disbursed through the UC Davis Student Accounting Office.
