FINANCIAL AID

Students who have gone through the program in the past have found that the financial aid they received while attending the UC Center Sacramento was comparable to what they received at their home campus. Here are financial aid basics:

ACADEMIC YEAR:

  1. UC Davis is responsible for the awarding of aid to the UCCS policy program participants.
  2. Students should contact the Federal Processor and add UC Davis school code to the list of FAFSA recipients.  The code is 001313.
  3. Students must inform their home campus Financial Aid office that they will be enrolling at UC Davis for whichever term they choose to participate. This way they do not receive financial aid at both institutions. Campus representatives can be contacted for information on financial aid contacts at home institutions.

SUMMER AID

  1. UC Davis is responsible for awarding of aid to the summer UCCS policy program participants.
  2. Students should add the school code (001313) to their previous years FAFSA to be considered for aid, e.g. if you will be participating in the Summer 2023 program, you will need to update your 2022-2023 FAFSA. 
  3. Students must inform their home campus Financial Aid office that they will be enrolling at UC Davis for the summer.
  4. Summer aid is first-come, first-served and there is limited funding.
