What kind of financial aid is available at UCSF?
A. Student Financial Aid administers several financial aid programs offering loans, scholarships, grants, and work-study. Funds are limited and are awarded only to students who demonstrate need, therefore all student resources and assets will be considered sources of income for the purposes of meeting educational costs. UCSF generally requires parental financial information, although this does not affect eligibility for financial aid but rather helps determine the type and amount of aid offered. Entering students should apply for financial aid as soon as they have been accepted (or provisionally accepted) for admission. By completing the UCSF Financial Aid Application package students are automatically considered for all programs administered by the Student Financial Services office. Visit the Application Process page for additional information.
