Financial aid for out-of-state students
Non-California residents must arrive at UC Davis with sufficient funds to cover tuition and fees, as well as expenses such as housing and food, books and supplies, personal expenses, and transportation, and must have the funds necessary for every year that they attend UC Davis.
Out-of-state residents are eligible for federal financial aid based on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid, the FAFSA, but state and university need-based funding is not available.
High school seniors and transfer students, here's what you will need to know when applying for financial aid:

| OCT 1: | The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA opens. |
| NOV 1-30: | Submit your admissions application to the University. |
