Yes, annually, all graduate students who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents or immigrants are required to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Although the FAFSA can be filed at any time, it is strongly suggested that you file by the priority filing date of March 2. This form, submitted directly to the U.S. Department of Education, Iowa City, Iowa, is used to determine financial need. The FAFSA is used for consideration for awards and loans, and work-study funds that pay some of the program fees. The FAFSA is available at the UC Davis Financial Aid Office in Dutton Hall or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Include the UC Davis School Code (001313) on the FAFSA.
