FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
University Graduate Scholarship (UGS)
All incoming students are considered automatically for UGS financial awards based on their merits. No additional application is necessary.
Need-Based Aid
Need-based financial assistance programs are available to graduate students.
Eligibility is determined through the needs-analysis system required by the federal government. The Financial Aid Form is available online; a link is provided below. The self-reported information in your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be used to decide eligibility. You may submit your FAFSA via the Internet.
International applicants are eligible for merit-based UGS, however, contact the Federal Student Aid Office to determine eligibility for federal funds.
Tuition payment plans are available to students wishing to spread out each term's tuition payment. If your employer is paying for all or part of your tuition and you wish to defer payment, UC offers a tuition deferral plan.
There is a moderate fee for each of these plans. For additional information, visit OneStop and click on the Payment Plan menu option on the menu.
