The University of California, Davis provides a comprehensive financial assistance program for MBA students.  We offer a competitive scholarship program as well as need-based loans and grants and private student loans. Some MBA students also undertake part-time employment as teaching or research assistants.

It is the assumption of most university and all federal need-based financial aid that the student (and spouse) will make the primary contribution toward the student's education whenever possible. To calculate your expected contribution toward your education, you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). All students are strongly encouraged to file their FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1. The FAFSA will calculate an expected contribution toward your education from your (and your spouse's) income and/or assets, not including home equity.

The Graduate Financial Aid Office will use the standard student budget to calculate your eligibility for aid.
